the weekend went by much too fast, but it was still very nice and relaxing. for some reason, the diamond jo boat wasn’t open, so we headed over to the physical building and it wasn’t as cool. we each contributed $50 to the dubuque economy and decided that was just enough.
it was rainy and cold on sunday, so we spent most of the day in the hotel room, not before catching a classic brunch at timmerman’s supper club; which was a lot like traveling back in time.
like i’ve said before, dubuque closes early on sundays. except, unlike two years ago, it’s closer to 8 than 10 now. we almost didn’t get dinner… we stopped over at the trusty old bricktown brewery, but they had just turned their wood-fire grills off (at 8:19). so we rushed back to the hotel and dined in the restaurant there. it was nice that they didn’t rush us since they were closing at 9.
we went over to the busted lift for an after-dinner drink (which is, incidentally, now called 180 main and has a fancy restaurant on the first level).
we’ll likely go back again, maybe for my birthday.
