Back to Iowa!

We were so tired after the long weekend we just put a pillow in the seat so Finnean could see out the window and had him drive us home!

I don't think I can take enough pictures in this hat!

Hanging out and learning about how to brew beer.

Dad and Finnean at the New Glarus Brewery.
*****
We had to stop at in New Glarus, a cute little Swiss town, that makes great beer (home of the spotted cow-if you have had it, you know why we stopped). We walked around the HUGE brewery and checked it all out. It was a great little side stop on the way home. After New Glarus we headed to Galena, IL. Go if you can, it was so neat. So many shops in old historic buildings, I think we could have stayed for hours...but we had to get going of course. We took the Great River Road home and it was a beautiful, very scenic drive. I wish that we would have taken some pictures! Finnean did such a good job in the car, until about Iowa City and then he was just ready to be home. We were too!!! We made it and had an amazing long weekend. We are thankful that we took Monday off to re-group! What an awesome reason to take a long trip....thanks Joe and Susan, Happy Marriage.
