Little trips and Day trips

We are leaving this evening for a little weekend trip to Galena, Illinois, and then a few days up in Wisconsin...... We are traveling by car with my sister and her husband (the boys are taking their golf clubs) and the two of us girls will hit the antique shops, and hopefully a flea market, or interesting little shop or two..... Then it's on to a spot a little west of Madison, Wisconsin, where Frank Lloyd Wright has an extensive architectural school, which he designed, and is now open to the public for tours... It sounds like fun, and we will get off the beaten path, if we find something that looks interesting-

Meanwhile--- I will share the pictures of our Wednesday outing-- Kris and I took the Metrolink to Forest Park for coffee, and to explore the History Museum... It's been newly renovated, and boasts two nice display areas that were fun.... The smaller one showed artifacts from the restored Fabulous Fox, and the larger, permanent one, houses a collection of memorabilia from the 1904 World's Fair Exhibition. We ate at Patty Longs restaurant in the museum, with it's gorgeous view of the beautiful FOREST PARK- one of the Jewels of St. Louis- As usual, it was a very fun time ! Where will we be off to next ? Got a suggestion for us ? Leave a comment- we're always looking for new ideas !@!!
