My parents are visiting from Pakistan these days and we just went on a short trip to Chicago for 4th of July celebrations. On our way back to Ames, Iowa we decided to drive through Galena, IL for some really great scenic landscapes. I took the opportunity to take some photos when we stopped for a bit.

This past Friday on May 6th, my nephew Saif turned 1. My sister planned a Superman themed party for the little guy and from the pictures it seems it was a smashing good time! Funny that i’ve only met the little guy once and i miss him everyday since. Cant wait to see him again!
