I have not posted on this blog for over six months, and I am not pleased with myself for that. So much has happened in my life since last July, and the biggest news is that I have a job lined up after graduation…in North Dakota. Yes, it’s true. This city girl is moving to North Dakota, and as a result, I am starting to feel nostalgic and panicked about my last four months here in Madison. I have a “bucket list,” if you will, of things I want to do/try in Madison before I leave. I hope to use this blog as motivation to actually complete this list of items. Without further adieu, here is my Madison Bucket List (in no particular order):
- Drink a Guinness and dance to Irish Music at Brocach Irish Pub
- Sing at the Karaoke Kid
- Take my picture in the Olbrich botanical gardens
- Sail on Lake Mendota
- Sit on Abe’s lap on Bascom Hill
- Try at least 10 new restaurants downtown
- Walk through the UW Arboretum
- Climb to the top floor of the Capital
- Try ever single beer from Capital Brewery
- Drink a “Das Boot”
- Buy fancy cheese from Fromagination
- Shop at Willy Street Co-op
- Try a pasty from Teddy Wedgers
- Waffles at Indie Coffee
- Explore the Chazen Art Museum
- Hike Devil’s Lake
- Visit the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
- Go to the Wisconsin Historical Society
- Ride the carousel at Ella’s Deli
I have no doubt that this list will expand as I think of more things. If anyone would like to accompany me to any of these places, I invite you all. I am also open to suggestions of things I should do. Let’s get this started.
You better get started! I’d like to add one…make a purchase at Shoo.
Love this! I’m doing the same as well. One of mine is to finish an entire pitcher on the Terrace by myself.
That is not exactly difficult.
