Adults Only Outing

We headed to Galena, IL today to enjoy some wonderful food, fun shopping and letterboxing - all of this with wonderful friends. We stopped at our favorite for lunch - Vinny Vinuchi's. We were so lucky to get "our tables" - in the "love dungeon"! Here we are waiting for our lunch and enjoying each other's company...

We walked around town a bit. Of course, we had to stop for coffee & chocolate! Matt was happy to find a few new letterboxes in town (3 for 4 on the day...we ran out of time to find the new one at Grant's home) and also replace some of the old missing boxes of his.

Our last stop on the day was at Chestnut Mountain Ski Resort. There is a letterbox at the base of the Alpine slide...which none of us had ever done. Let me say that while it was fun, I SUCKED! I would love to do it again some day and hopefully go a bit faster!

To the Wilsons & Welshs, thank you for being such wonderful friends. Thanks for agreeing to the Alpine Slide! We love you guys and pray that you continue to be a part of our lives for years to come.
