To Galena we went

Living in the city, I can become out of touch with things out of the city- like rolling hills and tall trees and traffic that moves for miles.  And when the pressures of urban life start to weigh heavy on me, these are the things I dream of.  Last weekend, in our attempt to escape before the busyness of summer began, we drove west to Galena- a charming historical community about 3 hours from Chicago.  Hills and trees there were.  Even the down to earth, friendly nature of people was disarming.  But the best part- uninterrupted, intentional time with my hubby.

First, a leisurely stroll through town.


  Next, a wine tour & tasting at Galena Cellars Vineyard & Winery


 And to end the day, dinner at a local French/German bistro, Fritz & Frites


Thankful for this guy and weekends spent together, both near and far.
