River Road Trip Pix

Here's some of my favorite shots from our just-completed River Road mini-vacation.  

Hope you enjoy perusing them.

Before I get to the pics, some interesting tidbits from our trip......

- we crossed the Mississippi River 8 times

- we visited the gravesite of the one, the only Julian Dubuque

- wifey was able to get her fill of Happy Joe's pizza

- we got lucky with the weather and hit 2 outdoor flea markets

- Antique Archeology ("American Pickers") in LeClaire has..... sadly..... gone very commercial;  this visit wasn't near as fun as the first one a few years back

- the visit to "Frank Fritz Finds" in Savanna Illinois wasn't that impressive either, although some of his rare finds were really neat

- we found Dad a great Fathers Day gift

- the large old home housing "The Broken Spoke" antique shop in Clinton Iowa is stunning

- Village Inn restaurant (also in Clinton) is still making awesome pie

- the rolling hills of the scenic drive down River Road is wonderfully beautiful

Out for now......
