Adventure 763: Herbie Joe on the Go/Madison, WI

Yesterday's wind brought the moisture. By the time we left at seven this morning, large fluffy snow flakes filled the sky. The snow globe drive lasted most of the day, but by the time we got within range of Madison, the skies dried up. However, the somber grayness gave way to a sharp sense of chill brought on by the sub forty degree temperature. No worries. We were perfectly warm inside our comfort controlled vehicle speeding along the highway with a plethora of semi-trucks, and any number of our newest road acquaintances. It was another good day, safe in the arms of traveling mercies. We arrived just in time to pick up Wes from daycare. Micah, Kim, and Wes took us downtown to a legendary pub called the "Old Fashioned" for dinner. Since it was parent's weekend in Madison, the pub was more boisterous than usual. We enjoyed a platter of cheese curds for the table, a must when one is in Wisconsin. Judy and I shared the fish fry platter, which was well prepared and tasty. We arrived home and began the usual "watching' of the toddler. Fun times had by all. After a few games of peek-a-boo, and a couple of PBS "baby shows", Wes was off to bed. Suffice to say, we're pleased enough to say that life is good, especially today.

From Fargo to Madison, the temperature didn't waver from 37 degrees.



Road construction led us twice off road on adventures, which of course, we love.



I'm hoping this early snow isn't a harbinger of things to come.
