Grafton Harbor in Grafton, IL

Day #75: Up at 6:30 A.M. it was great to sleep in and not be concerned about having to move today. We had coffee, nectarine and gingersnaps while watching the local news. Bruce came over to help Mike as we had a few repairs that we are working on. Bruce helping with his expertise and muscles. Great to have awesome friends on this crazy trip that we are embarking on! Sunny and hot today 90 degrees. After the boat jobs Bruce, Bev, Mike and I went to lunch at the Oyster Bar. After lunch we all went to the pool here at the marina. The pool was wonderful in the heat. Bev and Bruce had family come to visit so Mike and I stayed all afternoon at the pool. We met some great people here from the marina and Loopers that have stopped here in Grafton. Bev asked if we wanted to stop by their boat for some air conditioning so we went to visit for a bit. Mike talked to Amanda and his parents while I did facetime with my Mom and Dad. Time for some blogging and reading to close out this Sunday.
Mike took this beautiful sunrise picture this morning looking out over the Mississippi River.

Mike is enjoying the pool in the 90 degree heat.

So Grafton Harbor is known as the "Key West of the Midwest". 

                           While we were eating dinner the "Spirit of Peoria" went by Grafton Harbor.
