Galena

I recently took a girl's getaway with my mom to Galena, Illinois. A small town in Northwestern Illinois just minutes from the Iowa and Wisconsin borders. It's a quaint town with a lot of history (former President, Grant has a home that we toured while there). If you are looking to go shopping for things you may want but not really need or would like to sample some local wines then Galena is a great place to visit. We stayed at a charming boutique hotel, The Irish Cottage. Below is a view of some of the natural beauty that Galena has to offer.
