Another glorious day in Grafton.

   We have had another lovely day in Grafton Illinois. Today we did some chores in the am, then we went shopping in Alton which is just 10-12 miles down the road. When we returned to the Marina, we put on the bathing suits to go by the pool and after that little adventure, we joined a whole bunch of loopers for happy hour at the Grafton dock. A wonderful day all and all, except that happy hour went a little long and we did not end up having enough time to make  dinner.

   There is a lovely little river boat coming up and down the river about 3 times per day. It is called the spirit of Peoria. I included a pic but it is a little blurry, (sorry about that.) When the boat does it's rounds it plays some old songs like Bill Bailey, Yellow ribbon, Ain't she sweet and some ragtime music. It is kind of a trip down memory lane. I am too young to know most of these songs, yet...I know them all.  

   This area is wine country and we are surrounded my many vineyards. Tomorrow afternoon we plan on going to do some wine tasting at one of the vineyards here that apparently has the best views in the Midwest, so we are really looking forward to that. Hopefully my pictures don't come out as blurry as they did today. Night all.
