Can you feel the love tonight?
My family adventure to Galena actually turned out to be a lot of fun. Who wants a detailed account of it? You do, sir? Well here is the next best thing - a list:
-2 1/2 hour drive there (not too bad)
-lots of gravel farm roads that seem to never end
-we stayed at this place called chestnut mountain and it's really a ski resort but I thought it was beautiful in the summer as well
-My dad and I went down this alpine slide thing which was fun but really bumpy. It was definitely an experience though.
-Didn't lose my flip flops on the chair lift
-BEST PLAYGROUND EVER:
-complete with the bubble like merry-go-round
-two swings that rotated around a pole (amazingly cool)
-other inferior swings
-see-saw
-slide
-the hotel was hosting a NCRS (national corvette restoration society) convention so the parking lot was filled with corvettes and my dad was in heaven because his first car was a red corvette but I won't say the year because it's really old, teehee.
-I went swimming for the first time in a long time/hot tub = :)
-I dried off by sitting on my towel outside on the hill
-shopping in downtown Galena was kind of fun. Most of the buildings were very old and they were really neat to see. I bought a pair of earrings and a candle that smells really good
-wore my sunglasses all day which was sooo nice. they make me happy.
-my mom told me that she admires how I listen to my "inner voice" because most people don't and it is almost always right.
-On Friday night, Katie and I sat outside the hotel on this big hill eating popcorn and listening to Coldplay as the sun was setting over the Mississippi River. We stayed out and looked at the (many) stars. It was lovely to have time to reflect on my current situation while being in the middle of such beauty.
Overall, it was just a nice 2-day getaway and a last summer hurrah.
P.S. What's going on for Lola's birthday????? :) :)
P.P.S. I'm excited about crossing off so many things on my to-do list. Yay. I finally stuffed and sewed my favorite little pillow back up so now it is happy.
