Henry Vilas Zoo
After leaving Dodgeville on Sunday morning, we headed to Madison, Wisconsin to visit a few places in the city. First up was the Henry Vilas Zoo, a 28-acre public zoo.

What is palm oil? Palm oil is a common preservative found in most prepackaged foods and beauty products (basically anything that foams). This includes shampoo and milk. Though many companies are beginning to use sustainable palm production in their products (i.e., reusing plantation land instead of cutting down the forest), many unscrupulous companies still destroy the land. |
After the zoo we went to the Olbrich Botanical Gardens, and if I lived nearby I would definitely visit this place more often. They were preparing for a new exhibit that opens on Saturday called GLEAM: Art in a New Light, and we saw several of the preparations for the exhibit spread throughout the gardens.
