We took Memorial Day Weekend off and went to Madison, WI for a friend's wedding. Besides the wedding, we went to the Madison farmer's market, toured the Trek bike factory, visited Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture school at Taliesin, and drove (yes, drove) by the Taliesin house. Had we arrived at the vistors' center a mere 30 minutes earlier, we would have been able to take the tour of the residence. It was most irritating to receive this news upon our arrival, and several of the more colorful words in the English language ran through Wife's head. If we had not stopped at a local coffee shop to try to use the free wi-fi internet (which, not surprisingly, would not work) to check the tour times, we would have arrived on time.
After driving for almost 10 hours without a fully functioning air conditioning unit (which is not conducive to a pleasant disposition), we picked up the Girls and the Brains of the Operation. The dogs were pooped from several days of endless barking. They collapsed on the kitchen floor and conked out. They will be back to nuclear behavior shortly.
Thanks to the miracle of global warming, the temperature at the wedding, and everywhere else for that matter, was blazing hot.
