Since we were at our family reunion for a whole week this time, I took a couple days off and made some short trips in about an hour and a half circle around Hamilton, IL, where we were staying. I visited Fort Madison, Iowa, Nauvoo, IL, Quincy, IL area and Hannibal, MO. Later, after the reunion was over and we were headed toward Canada, we made a few other stops along the way. We were headed toward what some folks call the "8th Wonder of the World" in Northwest Iowa, which we will highlight in the next photo story, but we did have a chance to stop and walk around Cedar Rapids after we had lunch there enroute.
