A Day in LeClaire, Iowa

Our last day in Iowa was spent in the town of LeClaire, right on the banks of the Mighty Mississippi. We checked out Antique Archaeology from History Channel’s “American Pickers" and spent some time wine-tasting in downtown LeClaire.

The Quad Cities of Iowa and Illinois

To celebrate the wedding of a good friend, we flew into the Quad Cities, an area straddling both Iowa and Illinois, in the Midwestern United States. The Quad Cities are made up of five ‘major’ cities: Moline, East Moline, and Rock Island in Illinois and Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa. There are interesting activities in each of the cities- from the John Deere Museum in Moline to Rich Island's arsenal and more.
