Not too far from my home in Madison are a large number of places to visit and things to do. Whether it's one of the parks in the Wisconsin State Park system, or simply a trip to Milwaukee to see the Brewers, there's always something going on in Southern Wisconsin. This section of the site deals with some of these day trips; by definition, just a quick trip out and home by bedtime.
