Galena and other adventures

While back in the midwest, Bryan and I spent a day exploring my old haunts in the Dubuque and Galena areas.

Our first stop was a trip to my friend Tori's home in Hanover, IL. (and yes, I didn't take a single picture - kick me) We spent a few hours chatting and meeting her son, Jack. Bryan was especially impressed by Jack's collection of Thomas the Train toys.

After our visit in Hanover, Byran and I continued up the road to Galena, IL. In Galena we enjoyed burgers at a favorite establishment of mine, Benjamin's. While there, we tried a sampler of Benjamin's finest brews.


We also strolled the scenic streets of Galena and found a few treasures for Christmas gifts.

Later that evening we met up with my college chums and their spouses. There was great chatting and catching up. I think Bryan might be a wee bit overwhelmed by all of these meetings.
