We have been enjoying the fantastic weather down here in the Galena, IL/Dubuque, IA/Kieler, WI area while visiting Angie, Kurt & Katie. While Kurt was working today, Angie, Katie, Justin and I drove into Dubuque and hiked a trail in the Mines of Spain recreational area. Beautiful views of the Mississippi river valley, as well as the bluffs in the area.
Then we drove up to Potosi, WI to the newly completed restaurant, brewery and museum there. We had a delicious lunch and walked around a bit, and definitely had to get a picture in front of the World’s Tallest Beer Bottle. Special.
Justin and I then walked around downtown Galena for a bit, picking up some items – namely Strawberry Rhubarb Butter from The Galena Canning Company – our favorite!
This evening we had a great meal with Angie, and then tried our hardest to get a picture of Katie smiling. She is bound and determined to immediately stop smiling just before the camera clicks!

The picture you picked wasn’t too bad- she’s almost smiling.
What a little ham. We’re looking forward to the Fenelon Place Elevator And walking America’s River today! So glad you came to visit!!
