A little get-away
Well, it's work-related, but I get the evenings free. I got over here to Madison, WI on Sunday. Bucky came up to join me for the day. We walked around State Street with all the cool little stores and restaurants. Of course, we brought our cameras! Did you think we wouldn't?
These mannequins cracked us up.
Madison is the state capitol. Here's the capitol building in the middle of a bright, sunny day.
We've decided that if we're ever here again we should check this store out.
You could say we were really havin' a ball.
Bucky noticed this one first, but I had to get pictures, too.
I thought this was a cool building, too.
Then tonight I did some more walking and got evening pictures.
Bone, this is one of the reasons why we look down when we walk. ;)
I just liked this one.
This is Lake Mendota.
Danielle, I took this one with you in mind. :)
Bucky told me about this cool building.
Here's the capitol building at night.
And I just took these 'cause I felt like it.

Isn't that red castle just the coolest? The capitol building kicks ass in that night shot, too.
Oh, and you can't tell me that first mannequin isn't on ecstasy. :)
You and Bucky look GREAT in your Winter Wear!!
I didn't see the picture of where you got Bucky drunk, or was it, where Bucky got YOU drunk.... whichever. ;) Those are awesome pictures! But doesn't the filligris in the window of that one building look like fallopian tubes?? Maybe it's just me.
Eclectic, we got each other drunk. And we vowed to leave our cameras in the hotel room while we drank. I think it's just best for everyone.
Bucky, yes, I'm glad you told me about the castle-building, it is cool. I think the capitol building is really neat at night.
Mr B, yeah but, which one of us is which?
Eclectic, all cameras were well put away by that time, and thank goodness for it. Do you mean in the picture with the balls? Go to my Flickr site and put notes around it so I can see it, too, please!
Tee hee, Bucky, great minds, and all that shit. I didn't see your comment till I was done. :)
Glad you are having a ball . . . love the pictures! :)
Well, duh. One of you is the first one, and the other is the second. Pfft!
Nina, thanks! ;)
Mr B, wow, you're good.
You always post the greatest photographs! I wish I had your skills—or, your camera!
I love going on trips "with" you Squirl. You take the BEST pictures! :_0
That was a mistake...I have no idea what that face would even imply, but I'm sure it's dirty.
This is what I meant:
:-)
Nick, thanks! I bet my style camera is all over e-bay by now. :)
Soozie, thanks! I love it when you guys go for walks with me. And I've done that face by accident before. I'm notorious for holding the shift key at the wrong time. :)
Thanks for the picture! I love it!
I thought the mannequins were really unusual - pretty cool that you got shots of them instead of just telling us about them. :-)
It is fun to see unusual buildings too. I liked the triangle market building best, I think.
1. Those are the freakiest-looking mannequins I've ever seen. Yikes.
2. Those decorative glass balls (hee) are really pretty.
3. Is that a church sandwiched in amongst a bunch of storefronts?
4. That lake looks really cold.
5. I hope you're enjoying your trip.
6. Thanks for sharing these with us, Squirl!
Beautiful pictures as always - although those are the ugliest, scariest mannequins I have ever seen in my life!
Danielle, I thought of you when I saw that sign. :)
Pictures are the only way to show those mannequins. I could not have properly described them. And there are some cool old buildings around here.
Ladybug, a list! Yay! I think that is a church. Sure looks like one. Yeah, it's cold here all right. I did enjoy my stay and I fly home in the morning, which will be good too.
Bone, because it was cold as something really cold is a great line, I love it. Yes, it is very important to watch where one walks. Not only do you avoid stepping in messes, you see the broken sidewalk and the curbs that can cause you to fall. I also have trouble stepping in stupid chewing gum. I hate it.
Platypus, thanks! And, yes, those are some very scary mannequins. I don't know who would manufacture them but I'm sure they're directed at a very young target market. :)
You can't tell me those mannequins don't come to life at night and dance with glow sticks waving.
And then they kill until morning.
You know, when I walked by there tonight one of them was in a different window wearing different clothes. I think you might be on to something.
that first mannequin is crazy--love it! And the castle--what IS that building for??
Great pics girl! That would have been a wonderful walk!
Your pictures remind me of Edmonton. They have a lot of cool old buildings sandwiched between new ones too.
Bone, you know how tight a mannequin's schedule is.
Effie, that first one really cracked me up. I don't know what that castle-like building is for. But Bucky noticed it and I made sure I got some pictures. Thanks! It was a very fun walk. The first half was even better as I shared it with my baby sister.
thshmom, I didn't know you'd been to Edmonton. I'm assuming you mean in Canada. If that's so, then Ichabod has been there, but I haven't. I'll have to ask him. :)
Those mannequins are so funny. Very odd.
Watch out! Squirl and Bucky are TOGETHER!!! And drinking!!!!
Kranki, you should be very skirred when Bucky and I are together AND drinking! Actually, the wildest thing we did was share a portabella mushroom sandwich. :)
I think that first mannequin represents me, as I'm always smiling and grinning like an idiot. The second one is Bucky because it looks like a whore. And nobody earns two dollars faster than my sister.
Tee hee, JDR!
Hey, how's life with little jellybean?
That's right, I have a pocketful of sticky $2 bills before most whores have finished breakfast.
Bone, the first rule is, Never get caught! But when you do, blush modestly.
Bucky, you're the best of the best. ;)
Oh, and the red castle? I believe it used to be an armory and is now a gymnasium.
Thanks for the research there, little sis. The gymnasium sounds like a good reason that there were loads of cars there and lots of young people.
I especially liked the triangle building pictures. Very unusual.
