I really wanted to call this blog post, Mono in Madison but.... some version of "road trip" sounded much better. Even though the end of last week I landed in urgent care with mono, this little weekend trip was everything the doctor ordered. Laid back, relaxing and time with my husband -- all this girl could ever want.
If you're new to Airbnb or haven't tried it yet, let me give you a tour of our cute little apartment on the beach that we rented for $72 bucks a night (total steal for 4th of July weekend).
Entrance to the house, covered in herb plants. To the front faced was the beach and this amazing view. Our apartment was on the top floor.
Here's an inside tour of the bedroom, kitchen, dining and down the hall was the bathroom. It was a private bathroom however, it wasn't actually IN our apartment. No big deal to us. We actually never saw any of the other tenants of the building while we were there.
Perfect view of the morning sunrises from the bed.
The yard spaces in Madison are very little. Most of them had some version of wildflowers blooming.
The meditation pillow I used almost daily. What a treat!
Morning tea for me and coffee for Drew.
I had a slight obsession with all these potted herbs :)
I honestly felt this place was so magical. It was everything we needed when things felt like they were running at a 1,000 miles per hour. We sat down to have breakfast every morning together, talk about the day, laugh at each others jokes or movie references, listen to indie music, walk down to the beach, walked to the coffee shop and cruised around on some bikes (once I was feeling up for it). And the best part, sleeping in :)
Madison has a funky vibe, almost that of Portland meets Seattle meets Denver? Anyone else feel the same way? We loved it!
My tour guide ;) Making sure I stayed back from approaching cars, looked twice and used my hand signals. Ha! He really is the best.
Anyone want to talk to the all mighty wizard today?
I told you this place was magical, see the constellations on the ceiling :)
Made it down to the beach where I made a flower crown and we watched the sunset.
When in Wisconsin, you must get cheese curds. Mono or no mono, these were delicious. Which I guess were also featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives! Meanwhile, Drew fell in LOVE with a new coffee cream ale from The Great Dane....
This is when the beer kicked in.... ;)... notice my heart glasses? He wears them well.
Somewhere we always land is record stores. Are you a fan of them? Not sure what it is, the smell or the vibe or the people -- regardless, it's always on our must do list.
So much vitamin D! Loaded up on my favorite SunBum sunscreen. It sure felt good to be out of the office air conditioning and feeling like a real human being again.
Here we came to sit in these red chairs, every morning. Our Airbnb beach home was only a block from here. Oh, I should also mention, we had no WiFi at our place, which was a God-sent as both of us needed to unplug. We did check in here in the mornings on our little side jobs, only for a hour. We timed it!
Loving that coffee shop vibe :) Even though I was only drinking the kombucha.
We rented some bikes and took them to the capital on the last day. Perfect 72 degree Minnesota day. Found some sweet new hobo pants and a tank from Earthbound Trading -- my absolute favorite store! (not pictured here as I'm saving that post for my bday this week).
Made it back just in time for our last sunset

Questions for you:
1) Whats the best weekend trip you've ever taken?
2) Where would you go if money was no problem?
3) Where should we go next?
