DeLay Family Day

Today was "Daddy's Choice". We went to the Moving Wall that is 80% scale of the Memorial to the VietNam War Soilders who died, over 58,000. There were also Memorials to all the Wars fought by American's and a Memorial to those of 9-11 and Iragi Freedom. After the Moving Wall Memorial we went to Surgis on the River.Sturgis is a culture all of it's own. I was hoping to see some really
uniquely customized bikes but we only saw a couple. Of course ther were hundreds of Harley's, some Honda's and others. We saw one "crotch rocket" type bike (lam-o). It was like a huge biker flee market. Not appropriate for children, definitely a "Rated R" event. To many body parts on display and lots of offensive language on signs, shirts, etc. We didn't stay long because our kids were getting a bad education. I mistakenly thought it would be different not that I expected a "family oriented" atmosphere,but it was definitely not a place for a nice family outting. It was awefully hot like 95+ degrees. We left and it was daddy's choice for lunch. So we went to Uncle Pete's in Moline. The best Gyro's in the world! We went for a long drive out to Princeton to see the old shooting range that Dave and his 'buds' use to hangout at. Nice ride along the river. Found an awesome Candy Factory store in LeClaire, a must see if you enjoy old time candy and chocolate to die for. It was 101 degrees in LeClaire. We had a lot of fun today, but boy were we wiped out. I'm getting a pretty good tan...on my feet and ankles. Never had a tan on my feet andankles, otherwise I'm still shockingly white. Of course Dave and the kids are tanning.
