The pipeliner decided to take some time off between
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We went on a few day trips
and a couple of over nighters.
It was wonderful to spend some quality time together!

I had been wanting to visit Galena, Il.
for quite a few years.
I don't know why we hadn't taken the time to go,
it is only a couple of hours drive away.
Galena is an historic town tucked down in a valley.
It is full of quaint little shops.
The weather wasn't very pleasant the day we were there,
but the pipeliner and I managed to pop into
about every shop that was open.
We had early dinner reservations at this local steak house.
One of the best prime rib dinners I have ever tasted!

I thought these steps would have been a great way to walk off dinner.
The pipeliner decided a picture would be better!
Our room at the local inn was very cozy on a cold, rainy night.
There are so many bed and breakfasts, inns and hotels
in the area it was hard to choose!
We enjoyed the rest of our evening at the local VFW
watching the Packers on Monday night football.
On our drive home we decided to stop at a designated
look out point.
The views were amazing!
We decided to have one matted and framed.
It looks perfect hanging over our fireplace!
It makes me so happy everytime I gaze up at this special
picture.
Just a reminder of another special memory the pipeliner and I
have shared together!
