My husband and I were supposed to spend this weekend in Charleston, SC, but when he woke up the day before our trip with a fever of 103.6, our trip was canceled. Since we were off work on Friday and he had been on antibiotics for almost 48 hours we decided to head down to Madison, GA.
I have lived in Georgia for almost 11 years and have always wanted to check this quaint little town out. The main square is dotted with antique stores, gift shops, restaurants, and ice cream shops surrounded on all sides by beautiful homes dating back to the 1800's.
We started out with lunch at Perk Avenue. Their menu consists of gourmet sandwiches, salads, and soup. They also have a case with beautiful cakes, brownies, quiche, and muffins. The atmosphere is even better with original tin ceilings and beautiful old wood floors. We decided to go with something simple: ham and cheese croissant with a cup of lobster bisque. It totally hit the spot. The temps were in the low 70's that day with a light breeze and overcast skies. It was the perfect fall day for soup and a sandwich. Although the soup was a bit on the salty side, I would for sure go back for more.
After lunch we walked around the outskirts of the main square to look at the old homes. On our way back we stopped in The Madison Produce Company for some local honey. Their produce display was beautiful and they also carried local grass-fed beef.
We ended our trip to Madison with a scoop of homemade cinnamon ice cream from Antique Sweets.
Madison was definitely worth the 2.5 hour day trip.
