Maritime Museum & Rock n Roll Museum


Today's time out is compliments of a fierce rain storm! We went on walk about this morning about 11. Toured the Visitor's Center, Maritime Museum
and the Iowa Rock N Roll Museum, all located right around the Arnold's Park Amusement Park. This place is soooo cool! We walked on the docks next to the lake, had a sub sandwich at a little shop there. DH had a "Nutty Bar" ice cream bar....an original snack from this area.
We were going to take a ride on the Queen II Paddle Boat around the lake this afternoon,came back home to let the dog out, and my weather radio was goin' off with a warning of strong storms coming from the north! Good thing we came home. I know if we'd have taken the 3 oclock cruise, I would have been freakin! That will have to wait for tomorrow. Theres a place to play miniature golf if it quits raining today. Several more shops to go into in that area by the lake. I really feel like we're on vacation...and the cool thing is - we have all week! We'll be here until next Monday. I think as soon as this current band of clouds is done, we can go back again! Lots of stuff to see and do here.
KayCee stayed home by herself a lot today, so she got lots of attention and walks tonight. We went back down by the lake and finished shopping, then on to Smokin' Jakes BBQ downtown for supper.
