-------------------------------
Join us as we take a short 2.5 hour road trip to Galena, IL . A small town with a population of 3300, this small city has a lot to offer! We went for a couple of days (we highly suggest you stay the night to take your time but you can most likely do and see everything in one day)

Our hotel:
Stoney Creek Inn (Galena), we did make a detailed video of our hotel and room (premier suite) if you are interested in knowing more, it can be seen here:

When visiting, expect to spend a good portion of your day on Main Street located in Downtown Galena (this was approx 5 minutes away from our hotel). Main Street offers 125+ shops/restaurants). They also have various tours from here (Trolley, Ghost tours, etc)

Running alongside the Galena River you'll find Grant Park - which is also walking distance from downtown Galena. The park offers a nice relaxing spot with Statues/monuments/canons/gazebos/playground and more!

What we couldn't see but wanted to check out was Chestnut Mountain .. this place has zip lining, ski lift, mini golf, alpine coaster and more! Maybe next time!!

No visit to Galena is complete without visiting the 18th presidents home, Ulysses S Grant. They do offer tours and is open to the public.

Thunderbay Falls is a small waterfall that's worth checking out. A nice secluded area located alongside private property (resort/golf course area)

Our restaurants of choice were Campeche Restaurant (Mexican food) which was delicious ! and they have a pretty neat rooftop seating area as well. We ordered the Chunky Guacamole, salsa, Fajitas de Camaron (Shrimp) and Enchiladas Suizas

And for dinner we went to Log Cabin Steakhouse , we ordered the Flaming Saganaki, Seafood Jamboree and Australian Lamb. https://logcabingalena.com

Definitely recommend both of those restaurants, 10/10 on both!!
