Girl's Weekend (3) - Sightseeing

Saturday morning when we woke up we all got ready to go see more of La Crosse (which I must say takes awhile with 5 girls & 1 shower).


We went to the top of Granddad Bluff where you can see Iowa, Minnesota, and of course Wisconsin all at the same time. It is 590 ft above the surrounding land. It also has a great view of La Crosse itself. Behind us in this pic is La Crosse, the Mississippi river, & more bluffs.

After the bluff we decided to hit up the local mall... because we are girls afterall! We stopped at a jewelry store to look at rings for the girls who have boyfreinds who will hopefully be proposing in the near future. ;)

Later on in the afternoon, Amy's friend from college, Liz, showed up to join the party. We passed the afternoon with typical girl talk and fun.

For supper, Jennie made us yummy enchiladas! and Kelly made us some frozen strawberry pie dessert! So good!


We decided to take another walk at night and enjoy the wonderful weather. We visited a garden down by the Mississippi that is split into different 'themes' from around the world. The entry way was modeled after a chinese garden. Above is Kelly, Sarah, Jennie, Me & Liz.



There was a pond with a stream and a bridge that was just screaming for a picture.


We got to see a beautiful sunset on the Mississippi River. This gazebo was in the garden by the river - so beautiful!

Kelly & me by the Mississippi.

We decided to stay in for the night, so we rented a few movies.
Sunday morning we chilled some more before leaving for home. It was a wonderful weekend, I had so much fun hanging out with old friends!
