Madison, Wisconson

This weekend I went to Madison, Wisconsin with Abby and her mom. We got there super late Friday night so we didn't do anything too exciting the first day. But then on Saturday we went to the HUGE Farmer's Market that goes around the capital in a square!!!! We also walked down State Street which is the street that connects the Capital on one end and the University on the other end. There was a TON of people that were there and it was very hard to walk in and out of shops without getting lost. Later that day we went out to eat at a fancy restaurant called Francesca's al Lago (it's Italian food). After we ate we walked over to the Overture Centre of the Arts where Wicked the Musical was being shown! The ceiling of the Overture was green which I thought was very sweet! (:  The seats that we had were absolutely amazing! We were smack-dab in the middle of the stage at a height where you could see everything and yet you weren't high up AT ALL! The singing and acting in Wicked is by far the best thing I have ever seen or heard. My favorite part of the WHOLE musical was when they sang "Defying Gravity" because it looks like she's floating in mid-air! This musical is truly amazing and made me want to cry. Then the next morning we all got up and went to Willy Street to go see a parade where everyone was wearing stilts! It was one of the craziest things I have ever seen! That is pretty much what my weekend consisted of. I had a ton of fun and I wish I could go back!!
