Comment “Madison” and I’ll drop you a link to my detailed blog post with 20 awesome things to do in this great city ☀️🍻🚲
Madison is more than just the state capital; it’s a vibrant, four-season city full of energy and charm. With a downtown situated between two lakes and surrounded by more parks per capita than any other U.S. city, it’s a nature lover’s dream with big city perks. Madison is known for its top-rated walkability and bike-friendliness, making it easy to explore its historic sites, farmers markets, and eclectic neighborhoods. You’ll find everything from free museums and stunning architecture to innovative restaurants and friendly locals. It’s the kind of place that blends agriculture, art, and approachability in a way that’s uniquely Wisconsin.

We love having this cute riverfront area so close to home! Washington, Mo is a gem with cute shops, great restaurants and GOOD coffee shops!
A perfect Sunday afternoon in Washington:
🌷Lunch & coffee at @undergroundsespresso
🌷Pop into a few shops (@thepaintedhomewashmo is one of my favs!)
🌷Grab a sweet treat at @kims.candydish
🌷Play with your kiddos on the riverfront playground or climb on the Red Caboose and watch the trains go by!
Washington is a perfect day trip with the family - you could even hop on an Amtrak train and make it a whole experience!
