Bruno teaches a course every May at the UW School of Pharmacy in
Madison, WI. Sheri tagged along this trip so we could spend time with friends in Wisconsin. We started the weekend with an action-packed
24 hours in Madison.
Eric and Jo, friends we made through Pfizer who now live in Milwaukee, joined us in Madison. They took us to the World's
Largest Brat Fest where enjoyed live music, brats (even veggie brats), and a
virtual tour in the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile.
This is a classic event that everyone should experience! We were lucky to be there early in the day,
it was relatively quiet and we strolled around enjoying the sunshine with lake
Monona shining in the distance.
In the afternoon we relaxed on the terrace at the Memorial Union
Terrace on campus at UW. There we met Niels, Julie, and Drew, Sheri's former housemates at "The Brown
House". Julie's family, Craig,
Henry and Emma came along too. It was
was a perfect day on the terrace and a great way to catch up with dear friends.
We had a really nice dinner with Joann's sister Kathy and her
partner John who live in Fitchburg, just south of Madison. Then, we finished off the day at the New
Glarus Music Festival, an annual event in the quaint town of New Glarus. We arrived just as VO5 came on stage, with
Sheri's friend Drew playing bass. We
enjoyed a full set of the best disco tunes played live by a talented group of
muscians from the Madison area.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of the weekend.
