We started off our day wandering around the Wisconsin State Capitol, including taking in the nice view of Lake Monona from the roof. Then we walked down to nearby Monona Terrace, which is a community and convention center designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

In a suburb outside of Madison, we visited the National Mustard Museum, which is home to the world’s largest collection of mustards and mustard memorabilia. It was an unique experience and we even got to sample several very interesting mustards.

Further along the road to Minnesota, we stopped at Carson Park in Eau Claire, which is home to the baseball stadium that Hank Aaron make his professional baseball debut, playing for the Eau Claire Bears.

Our family’s multi-year quest to find a moose was finally successful! The zoo also has a cool elevated walkway, a large collection of goats, and many other interesting animals. We finished our time at the zoo by having the boys take a ride on a camel, which was a first for both of them.

After dinner, we went to take a look at the Minnesota State Capitol in St Paul.
