A visit to Galena, IL with friends





Yesterday we got to spend the entire day with our very good friends, Michael, Liz, and Viviane Cole. It was SO nice to visit with them (I was going to say chat, but Brian informed me that men don't chat!) and we also got to see the quaint, scenic town of Galena. We first toured the home of Ulysses S. Grant. After the tour Michael and Liz treated us to lunch at Vinny's Italian Restaurant. Oh boy was that yummy! The garlic bread...don't even get me started...I could have had my entire meal on that! After lunch we walked Main Street and enjoyed looking in all the little shops. Well, the ladies enjoyed the shops. The men pushed the strollers and philosophized--no doubt about theology! We ended our time in Galena with a stop at the Chocolate Factory where we all enjoyed a delicious treat. Pretty sure it is a dangerous thing to send two pregnant woman into a chocolate shop!

Thank you Michael, Liz, and Viviane for a great day!
