As Brett mentioned in his last post, for Memorial Day weekend we drove to Galena, Il for a short family vacation. We took our pop-up and stayed at a family friendly campground for three nights. (perfect camping for us - Walmart on one side for all those items we forgot and Culver's on the other side for late night ice cream runs.)
During the day we spent our time site-seeing in Galena. We had a blast learning the history of the town; in the 1800's it had a population bigger than Chicago! It was even home to President Ulysses S. Grant for a few years, whose house we were able to tour. We also took a boat ride on the Mississippi river and a ghost trolley ride around the city. Oh, and I can't forget the shopping on main street. Unfortunately for Brett, we were able to fit some shopping in for me each day!
