Galena

With no long runs scheduled these days, our Saturdays have been feeling mighty free lately. Sometimes a little too free and we end up wasting an entire day. So, we decided to take a short drive to Galena, Illinois today to check out its famous Main Street. 

Kate perfected her lip balm application skills, Leah out-ate both of her parents at a local cafe for lunch and Ryan was in root brew heaven at a little store called Root Beer Revelry. I counted at least 50 different brews and he chose a mere 13 to come home with. 

Other than the ridiculous humidity (seriously, I might as well have been swimming fully clothed) and the apparently too-small shoes I chose to wear, we had a great time. 

Plenty more to see and do, and plenty more root brews to try, so we'll be back.
