Romance in Madison
In case someone (i.e., Jo) didn't read the comment, I wanted to share what my friend Rebecca pointed out -- there's a very romantic hotel in Madison, the Canterbury Inn, "a 'literary' bed and breakfast, situated atop an independent used and scholarly bookstore and cafe in the heart of downtown Madison, Wisconsin." The rooms have names like "The Wife of Bath's room," and the bookstore specializes in rare and out-of-print books. It sounds like a real treat!
Other spots in Madison that I'd consider romantic would be the Arboretum (in the right season), the Olbrich gardens (ditto), one of the many beautiful little restaurants tucked away in the spoke-streets that span out from the Capitol, and any spot where you can sit and stare out at one of the lakes (which includes many spots).
Gee, I'm almost convincing myself Madison is really romantic!
