October 14th – 15th

This is our year…2023 we have waited long enough for this weekend.  It is needed to get away from our daily grind and let our hair down and have some fun.  This trip has been 3 years in the making ready to laugh out loud and often.

We will head to Dubuque for our first stop at the Barrel House for a nice lunch.  Once we have regained our strength we head to Captured on Canvas for some arts and crafts.

After we have explored our crafty side we will head over to Best Western to get checked in.  We will have a short time to recharge and get “gussied” up for dinner and the theater.  Our group dinner will be at Mario’s for an Italian family style feast including dessert. Once again, we have our stamina recharged and we will be the guests of the Bell Tower Productions to see the performance of “Drinking Habits 2 Caught in the Act.” The Sisters of Perpetual Sewing step into action to save the local orphanage with their secret wine making to raise money and hilarious hijinks. Anything and everything goes wrong.

We will retire for the evening or if you would like to have a bedtime cocktail, Old Chicago Bar & Restaurant is open next door to abide you.

While you were sleeping, the breakfast fairy has been hard at work to prepare a hot breakfast buffet for you to enjoy.

We will hop on our bus and head across to Galena for a historic trolley ride through the city and learn some of the rich history of Galena.  This is the best way to see the highlights of Galena and save your feet for shopping. Your feet and wallet will get a workout in the mile and half of shops and boutiques.

We head home with our feet resting, a cool beverage and of course snacks and a chic flick to end our trip.
