Galena, first thoughts…

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

What cool town. Lots of interesting architecture and the downtown is guarded by flood gates that make the town’s entrance look like a big ol’ fort.

We are staying at Bernadine’s Stillman Inn and so far we love it. Dave, the proprietor is very friendly making for a pleasant atmosphere.

Sadly, we cannot recommend Generals’ Restaurant at the DeSoto House Hotel. We picked because the website said there would be live music and unfortunately there was not. The wait staff was friendly but the food was average and when we are on vacation we want something a step above the ordinary and Generals’ just did not satisfy.

The last vacation…

…before the baby comes that is. We are going to Galena Illinois for a few days. Never been there before, don’t know much about it… I just hope it’s fun and restful.

Here are some of the links that I looked at prior to choosing Galena:

I’ll let you know if we like it or not.

This is only a test. Had this been a real blog post, you would have received some mildly interesting blurb from my life.
