Trip Down River to Muscatine

What started out as a drive down to a winery in Coal Valley ended up as a trip to Muscatine and a walk along their beautiful river front. Really windy but at 81F who cared.

The hotel now called The Pearl. It used to be the Muscatine but since they are calling everything Pearl this or that...
