R & R

As I write this, I am curled up in bed in a cozy woodland town home, drinking some pumpkin spice tea.

Heaven.

I had some time between my last two finals, one being yesterday afternoon, and my next one being Monday night. Therefore, I was able to get away for a weekend in Galena, IL with my mom, aunt and their friend from college.

This was, without a doubt, the most wonderful dinner I have ever had. Because one, the food was phenomenal. It was also a teeny, tiny place, and because of that, the chef sat down and talked to us for awhile. He said he was from England, and he has lived all over the world. So there was a wide variety of food available that he's picked up from his travels. To get an idea of how much we actually ate–we got there at 7:15, and didn't leave until after 10. 

The most delicious desserts ever. 

Where we're staying. Quiet, pretty and relaxing. 

This is a cabin where a few generations of people lived, including six kids. We thought it was pretty neat.

Cinnamon rolls the size of your head? Necessary. 

The greatest tea shop I have ever stepped foot in.

And tomorrow? Massages and shopping. I have been so, so looking forward to this weekend.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
