As always...I'm a tad tardy in posting....but I'm going to do my best to get back on track and catch up with travel posts.
I've already gone on record stating that my husband is a pretty good travel-planner. It might have something to do with the fact that he knows what he wants to do and just whips out the plastic; whereas I go through this painstaking process of finding the best 'deal.' In any event, hubs planned a wonderful trip to Galena, Illinois.
Here is his itinerary. I won't comment.
In the event that you cannot read his lovely handwriting. His itinerary includes the Galena Farmer's Market, an Alpine slide, the Irish Cottage hotel, wine tasting at Galena Cellars, possible dinner at Durty Gurts and a balloon ride. Not too shabby.
While living in Europe, we found an alpine slide on our travels in Switzerland. It was a.maz.ing! We each hopped on a sled and made our way down the hillside surrounded by big brown Swiss cows, complete with huge bells hanging from their neck. Our second encounter with the alpine slide was at the Great Wall of China. Sooo much fun! Chuck found an alpine slide at Chestnut Mountain just outside of Galena.
We made our way to Galena Cellars on the north side of Galena. After a wine tour and tasting, we bought some wine and sat on the covered porch for a few hours. It just so happened that the bike race route went past the winery, so we also cheered on the participants.
A few pictures from our trip.
