Davenports in Davenport

Twenty-third leg of trip: Davenport, IA and visiting the cousins!

As we left the Badlands, we spotted this sod house.










                     The sunflowers were plentiful out here


           Here is the Missouri River, the one Lewis and Clark
                             used to explore the West.





      Iowa has a lot, and I mean a lot of fields of corn and soybean

                            We entered Nebraska to go to Omaha.

 Omaha was a must for us for two reasons: growing up watching the Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom and..."Omaha, Omaha" from my favorite quarterback, Peyton Manning!
                             ....and more fields of corn and soybean.

 The car with clout that gave us a lovely escort through Iowa.  Cars moved aside for this car and we followed right behind!
                      And yes, we had to stay in Davenport, IA!
                          ... but, no, we did not stay there!
                                     It's a lovely town.

                       Davenport has a lovely riverfront on the Mississippi

















 We enter Illinois on our way to visit Jessica and Bob, our cousins!

Left to right: Roger, Me, Bob, & Jessica
Of course, the picture is missing Spencer, Davis and Lilly, the precious kitties!  Always to wonderful to be with family!

Next we are off to St Louis, Missouri.
Blessings to all!
