road trip

To celebrate my last day of teaching summer school, my husband and I drove to the historical town of Galena, IL.

(we also stopped in Iowa at the Field of Dream house)

wine tasting

We stayed at the DeSoto House Hotel.

We ate at this wonderful local restaurant

and my adorable, sweet, and handsome husband insisted that we stop at The Milagro Studio and pick out a piece of jewelry for me. I did not object.
