Galena Getaway

This weekend we headed to Galena to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary! We had great company along with us our two great friends Monica and Brandon. We decided sometime earlier this year that we wanted to go to Galena to celebrate our anniversary and Brandon and Monica had the same idea, since they were married up there a year ago on the 10th of November, so we decided to do a joint trip!

We rented a 2 bedroom villa at Eagle Ridge and stayed Friday and Saturday evening. On Friday night we had dinner at Backstreet Grill, which is the restaurant that catered Monica and Brandon's wedding...YUM! Saturday morning the girls had spa treatments while the boys watched football and caught some ZZZ's! Saturday afternoon brought Hawkeye football for the guys and some shopping downtown Galena for the girls! Monica and I were able to get back to the bar and join the guys for the last quarter of the Iowa game and were happy we were able to see the Hawks squeak out that win against an undefeated Penn State! GO HAWKS! Later that evening we got cleaned up and went to dinner at One Eleven Main, a relatively new restaurant downtown, where lots of laughs took place!

On the way home today Mike and I were discussing how lucky we are to have 2 great years of marriage under our belts, to have a baby on the way, to have a great family and to have amazing friends. We want to thank Brandon and Monica for a great weekend, we look forward to carrying on the tradition! Happy Anniversary on the 10th, we wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!
