Things To Do
National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium
The location of our wedding reception, and also one of our favorite places for an afternoon adventure. Part museum, part aquarium, and part science center showing the beauty of the Mighty Mississippi.
Lacoma Golf Club
Located only five minutes from downtown Dubuque, Iowa, Lacoma offers three regulation golf courses as well as a par 3 course. This is a place where we've enjoyed many rounds of golf, many rounds of beer, and many days of working together.
Otto's Place
Enjoy homemade dishes made from locally sourced ingredients in Galena, IL. Their restaurant has been a staple in the neighborhood and is our favorite brunch place!
L.May Eatery

Hands down the best patio in Iowa with amazing views of the Mississippi and of course great beer. A 30 minute drive that you won't regret.
