Our annual Meet in the Middle weekend happened in early May in the Galena, IL area. This is easily one of my favorite weekends of the entire year! First stop along the way, Starbucks of course!
We had a great lunch at JJ & Freddie's in Stockton, IL. My dad always finds the best places!
Next stop was at Midwest Senior Care Center in Galena, where we got to help the residents play Bingo. It turned out to be a lot of fun!
Next stop was West Side Sculpture Park in Galena for a family friendly photo scavenger hunt contest. Each family member got to submit their most creative picture to Grampy and then the rest of the family would vote as to which was their favorite!
We stopped at Culvers for dinner and spent the rest of the evening together enjoying the amazing house my dad found!
We set out the next morning for the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque, IA followed by lunch at nearby Tony Roma's (a long time family favorite restaurant).
We finished off the evening back at the house with Subway for dinner, some hot tub time, game room and a campfire complete with smores!
Our final morning consisted of the sculpture scavenger hunt voting and results! The winners were Rowan (1st) Cora (2nd) and Jade (3rd). We took some cousin and family photos and the headed back to downtown Galena for lunch at Durty Gurts.
On our way back home we made a quick stop at Little Cubs Field (a miniature version of Wrigley Field) in Freeport, IL!
Thank you so much to my parents for an amazing weekend. Looking forward to Meet in the Middle 2026! :)
