Interesting tidbits

We saw some interesting things on our trip. Here are some of them.


We stayed in Hotel Nauvoo. It was a cute, little place. This sign was on the wall in our room. It worked like a charm because we did have sweet dreams.



Randy loaned us his GPS. It took us on a very round about way to Nauvoo. We got there about 9 p.m. It took us down this one lane gravel road for about two miles. We laughed and laughed about it even though we felt like we were totally lost in the dark, in some random cornfield. We had to go back during the day to get this picture and figure out how in the world we ended up there. Technology is good but we sure wished we had a good old-fashioned map to tell us where we were.


We found this fungus on a tree. We thought it was alien.


This is in Chicago. If we spent enough time driving around I think we could have found hot dog places named for every one of our grandkids. This one's for you Teddy.
I'd never seen such a good-looking and functional clock. On the clock face it says, "It's time for hardware." I don't think I'll ever think of hardware in the same way forever.


What a serendipitous day this was. We were driving around Chicago (yes, Chicago and not Pisa) when we happened upon this leaning tower. It is in the parking lot of a YMCA--really. That's me at the bottom. It was built to honor Galileo and it stores water.
