You will want to schedual a return trip before Christmas. The shops in Galena and here in Dubuque on Bluff St are all decked out. And the eagles are around the dam after the river freezes. Are you referring to Shamrock Imports in Dubuque? Love that store, too much ;-). Bet you spent your winnings. Did you ride up the 4th Street Elevator? Worlds shortest and steepest inclined railway, did you know?

Arrgh, if only I had known you were in the area....Dubuque Arboretum....Eagle Point Park.....Jim's Hostas.....my backyard for bbq and sweet corn, lol. Next time, ok??? Are you going to go to the Iowa Roundup by any chance? *jotting down note to self*

I'm glad you had a fun trip, but next time I want to play tour guide!!! Yeah, I'm a bit biased, I love Dubuque and the surrounding area. I was born and raised within 20 miles of where I live right now, and after traveling with DH in the Army, this is where we will always live. Unless I win the lottery, and then I have plans for a few vacation homes.....with a few fantastic gardens of course.
