4th of July Weekend
Part III

Historic Galena

We all loaded up in the car...

This time we went over the IL Bridge aka Mississippi River...

We decided to spend Our Afternoon in Historic Galena, IL. (15 Min drive) It is a Quaint, Picturesque town in the middle of no where. Home to President Grant. And also Voted the Top 10 Most Charming Small Towns in 2011!!!! Think New England meets Midwest! Antique Shops, Stores, Ice Cream Parlors, & 4-5 Star Restaurants! Alan calls it a "Tiffy Town" aka everything is so stinkin' cute it could be in a postcard!! :)

We window shopped for a few hours.
And stopped to get a Ice Cream to cool off... Yes Savannah made me feed her Ice Cream to her, so she wouldn't get Dirty!
What can I say.. they take after there Mother!! ;)


On the West Coast you may see Pioneers.
And on the East Coast you may see Revolutionary Soldiers.
However in the Midwest you see Civil War Soldiers!
I just love Rich Texture Backdrop!! :)

Time to get home for Our Own Firework Show...
