About a month ago I decided I would surprise Mike with an overnight trip to Galena for his birthday. I got the time off work for us and I started planning. I scheduled a whiskey distillery tour (picture above) and booked a room for us at the historic Desoto House Hotel right in downtown Galena (see picture below). We ate dinner at Log Cabin Steakhouse on his birthday night and it did not disappoint. We got up on Saturday morning and did a little shopping and headed home. I have to say it was SO nice to get away for 24 hours. We had such a nice time and Galena was so pretty dressed up for Christmas. Mike and I are adjusting to this new stage of life. We celebrated Christmas with our family a few weeks ago and it really gave us some free time in the days leading up to Christmas. I think Mike and I may do this every year for his birthday, just break away from the hustle and bustle for a quick getaway. As I write this this morning I am preparing for John and Judy to return. They were with us for six nights and then left to visit her family in Indiana. They return tonight and will stay with us until Christmas Eve. Jay is in Florida with Hannah's family and Nick and Rylan have been busy attending Christmas events with her family. This Christmas season has been a season of change and as the years continue to go by change is just part of it. This Christmas I'm thankful for my marriage, that Mike and I have put in the hard work with parenting and are seeing the harvest.
