Latest Trip to Dubuque
Recently returned from an overnight getaway to Dubuque with sister, Dawn. Started with lunch at Decatur Dairy in Brodhead. Grilled cheese sandwiches, Diet Coke, and a bag of fresh cheese curds to take on the road. Then off to Dubuque along picturesque Highway 11, over the Mississippi River into Iowa, and checked in to the Julien Hotel. First off, down to the whirlpool/pool for a relaxing soak in the whirlpool and invigorating couple of laps in the pool. Next, a relaxing nap. Then onto dinner at the Woodfire Steakhouse inside the Diamond Jo casino. Delicious, and served by our favorite waitress, Michelle. Awesome tenderloin steak, served with asparagus spears and an iceberg wedge salad with blue cheese dressing. A delicious fudge brownie dessert with sour cherries and ice cream, which Michelle comped on, since we were celebrating our escape from the Oscar apartments. Next, we went into the casino, where I found a $10 blackjack table, and Dawn played a $5 blackjack machine....
