Sunday came around and it meant our trip was coming to a close. We spent the morning in the airbnb before heading back to State Street to hang out for a bit until the University of Wisconsin art museum, the Chazen Art Museum, opened. I got myself a tasty raspberry scone and we walked around … More Spring break Chicago & Madison part 4
