Apparently I sound like a commercial for Madison when I'm asked how I like being in this city ;) I really love Madison it's such an active community ad there is SO much to do here. I think part of the reason I like it here so much is the fact that we have been so far away from this kind of city life since we lived in Rockford. Eau Claire was a bigger place but still not nearly as much to do as Madison or Rockford.

Another thing we really love is the food. Neal has been getting quite a few gift cards from his boss so we have been enjoying going out to eat. The last place we went to was the Flat Top Grill. It's a stir fry place....you basically go through a line and pick out your own rice or pasta, veggies, sauce and meat. They have basically everything imaginable then you set it at a grill and they cook it fresh for you. It was SO SO delicious and fun. We will definitely be going back!! It was a little stressful with the kids but now that we know how it works it will be much easier. Another favorite for us is The Great Dane...their food is SO good. And then the fancy most expensive but absolutely FABULOUS was the Bonfyre it's right down the street from our house and I'm glad that it's out of our price range because if it was cheaper we might be tempted to eat there a lot more....mmmm finger licking good. We just love food too much :) There is a Cuban place downtown that we can;t wait to try their food just looks so good and authentic and tropical. Ughh it's no wonder I can;t shed the baby pounds :)
