Trip Report

We took a trip through Missouri and Iowa to arrive in Galena, Illinois last weekend.

We saw lots of this...

And these...

Also, the Mississippi River in Dubuque, Iowa.

Of course Steve had to get a geocache in Iowa.

Downtown Galena. Similar to Main Street in St. Charles, but a little bit better. More restaurants, bed and breakfasts, and historical sites. We found a place to eat our lunch that had the Missouri vs Illinois football game on. I had some interesting thing called a potato puff. Still not sure what it was, but it was tasty. (I'm sounding like Greg!)

A home belonging to Ulysses S. Grant.

It was a shorter trip than we had anticipated, but still a much needed time of relaxation that we both needed. We did a lot of walking around the town and even bought a couple of Christmas gifts! We made it home in time to unpack, do laundry, repack and head to LA.
