Wisconsin Part 2

For Saturday and Sunday, we spent time with my cousin, Dale, and his family. They were so hospitable and showed us around town and even fed us dinner. We had a wonderful time exploring the Madison Zoo, which by the way is free. (Indy Zoo if you would like to take a hint!) It was really nice and the weather was beautiful! The zoo is right off of the lake, so there was a cool breeze all day!
Dylan, Catie, and Lauren took a break in this cool bench! I don't think I've ever been that close to a rhino before!Owen and Lauren shared the stroller. It was cute!After naps at their house, we went to see Dale's work. He works for Epic Software and his office/ campus is AMAZING! I've never seen anything like it in my life! They have themed conference rooms and buildings and they are awesome! I wouldn't mind working somewhere like that everyday! Absolutely everything in the room goes along with the theme. The coasters, the trash can, the cabinets, the lighting, the chairs, even the ceiling! They had an Indiana Jones hallway that plays music when you enter, Grand Central Station, an airplane hanger, a circus room, a log cabin room, an arctic room, and so many more that I can't even remember! They also have themes for the entire buildings. My cousin works in the Wild West, so everything is western. Even the elevators and bathrooms go along with the theme! In his building, the bathrooms doors were swinging doors like they use to get into an old saloon. It was better than some museums that I have been to! If every company made their employees feel like they do at Epic, there would be a ton of happy employees!
Here is a lobby when you enter one of the buildings, they have 8 as of now! This was in the log cabin conference room.The arctic room.
The tree house that is a conference room, too! They have internet access and everything out there to have a conference! The subway in the New York building! They have the subway as the ground level, the first floor is downtown, and the second floor is the skyscrapers. The airplane hanger room.We had such a great time and I couldn't believe how amazing this campus was! So awesome! Thank for showing us a great time and around your work!
