Day 172: Road Trip to Galena
It was a short night last night considering what time we went to bed. I got up and fixed breakfast and tried to fix coffee. I just drink espresso, so I don't have a big coffee pot. We used my dad's keurig and kind of flooded my countertop. We also managed to get some coffee out of it too.
We hit the road around 8:30 to Galena. We took the scenic route out so we could see some of the countryside and sneak into Iowa to say we went to another state. It was a nice day, just hot. Once we got to Galena we grabbed some lunch at a place called Gobbies. Linda and I shared a sandwich. I really liked the salad that we got there with the raspberry vinaigrette. Becky and Linda got to try beer nuggets for the first time. I think they liked them.
After lunch we wandered the town, weaving in and out of shops. We also did a little wine tasting at Massbach Ridge and Galena Cellars. I love Galena Cellars. Unfortunately it was time to get back on the road to make it home for dinner time.
Dinner was kind of a pitch-in. Linda brought lasagna, I made a salad, portobello mushrooms, and garlic bread, and Becky made crepes suzette for dessert. It was a nice family meal, too bad we were missing one person: Lori.
