IA Gary, bill and others thanks for the ideas. As of right now we have been to: The Machine Shed; great food average service, Harris pizza; best pizza Ive ever had in my life good service, Whiteys ice cream; good stuff, and in an hour we are going on a date to Johnnys.
As for fun stuff we did the combine tour Friday after my interviews, it was fun but not enough for me! As part of my interviews I got to eat and tour the world headquarters and that was a neat place. Today we went to Lock 15 and as we were talking with the visitor center guys a boat from across the river asked to come through. So of course we waited and watched him come through the lock, the bridge turned and it was a really cool thing to see. Then after that we headed over to the arsenal museum and that was a really neat place. If you like guns youll like that place. The history is what I liked most about it.
Just a little while ago we went down for the lighting of the commons and what a neat time that was. All the families out there, the free cider and hot chocolate and the fireworks.
My one complaint: what idiot didnt think that when they were naming roads to not have the numbers going four directions. Man Im really good with navigating but not here. I was on 16th and then bam Im on 14th, never turned or anything. I now know the its because the city limits but geez I was lost for a while.
Okay enough for now but thanks a bunch for all the advice. We really have enjoyed the area.
