U-turn

While in the past 5 weeks Eric and I have both done more U-turns than we care to admit, with each week that passes we find ourselves relying on the 180 degree maneuver less and less. We definitely miss living on the 40th floor and all the excitement that goes along with it, but we are loving what we have found in Madison. Everyone has been extremely friendly and helpful. (kinda forgot how nice it is to have the cashier at the grocery actually smile and ask how your day has been). Anyway, one of our favorite activities has been taking Jackie to the dog parks around us. Sounds lame I know, but these are not your typical starbucks sipping bark parks (see photos below). Jenn of Jenn Van Wyk Photography was nice enough to show me the ropes and introduced us to Prarie Moraine Dog Park, a beautiful 160 acre off leash trail/hike that makes us question if we really do miss the hustle and bustle of city life.

Yay! You went back with Eric! Isn't the park just awesome? Lovely pictures of the fields and clouds, and the ones of Jackie just make me laugh - she's so small. We'll have to go back again sometime :) Let's us know when you guys are available!

Lauren - I love your doggie action shots and you have such a wonderful blog!
Isn't Wisconsin lovely in the summer? My son goes to school in Delafield and I must try to make it over to Madison sometime soon. I'll have to bring my Yorkie LouLou. It looks like she would love the park, too. Now I just need to find some time.
Thanks for following Queen of Cashmere on Facebook.~ Caron
