Who knew Madison was named after the fourth President?

The Capitol area in Madison is a really fun place. After lunch, we took the free tour at the capitol building led by woman who needed to take a break from her hand movements. We learned a lot about the capitol, including that its dome is larger than the country's capitol and that it would be worth billions of dollars today since it's filled with irreplaceable stones and marbles from all over the world.

We were able to go up the dome for a great 360 degree view of Madison.



My only goal in Madison was cheese. Usually goals are expressed with verbs, but this one was really just cheese. I tracked down a cheese shop on State St. and we got some cheddar cubes...


...and took the quintessential cheese head photo. Arm poses inspired by our gesture-happy tour guide.
