Oh my gosh guys... Long time no see! I have been a terrible blogger. I have been crazy busy these past few weeks as I have transitioned back into my school and work schedule. No worries, I've figured my life out and now I'm back to blogging! Yay. Over the Labor Day weekend my parents and I ventured to Galena Il, which is a 5 hour drive from where I live.
Galena is a cute little tourist town that has a huge shopping street. I'm sure the locals just love the tourists takeovers throughout the summer! It was such an interesting little area. You could easily spend a day venturing into all the stores they have. A took a few photos share with you along the way!
I think one of Galena's goals is to make everyone gain 5 pounds while they are there. Seriously, the candy stores are amazing! All kinds of chocolate, caramel covered apples, and even Gelato. I wanted to eat everything...
Oh look... I forgot to use the square photo frame. Go me! One of my favorite stores was a little home shop. They had the cutest fall decorations and were even starting to pull out a few Christmas items. I wish we could have purchased something but we had absolutely not extra room in the car.
I kid you not when I say there was a whole store dedicated completely to Root beer. They had any brand you could possibly want. I had one of the Diets and I have to say it was pretty delicious.
There was even a candle store... And guess what? I bought nothing! They had some amazing smelling candles but they were pricy. If you didn't like any of the scents they had, you could make your own candle! I thought it was a fun idea but I'm not about to spend $20 on a 12 oz. candle.
This will excite all of the gluten free readers! Do you get the pun? Hehe Silly Yak... This bakery had homemade doughnuts... FREAKING SPRINKLE COVERED DOUGHNUTS. Were they delicious? I can't tell you because it was closed Sunday and Monday. I was sad all the way home...
