Is This Heaven?

No... it's Iowa. More specifically it's Dubuque. Cindy and I went to Dubuque over Labor Day to visit Dene' and Tyler in their newest adventure. What a fun town. A college town sitting on the Mississippi river with lots to do and lots to see.



We had our own personal taxi



The town of Dubuque sits on the Mississippi river but is built upon the bluffs. Some of the roads are steeper than in Lead and have amazing views of the town and the river.

On the river. 



 Dene' and Tyler's Apartment is one block from the river/harbor. They have a great view from their roof top terrace.

 

D and T's place



It was a little chilly that weekend but was a nice change from the 90 degree heat of Lincoln.



Breakfast on the terrace.



Tyler is working for Focus doing Varsity Catholic.

The school sits on top of a bluff over looking the river. A very beautiful campus.



And the visit would not have been complete without a soccer  match.



The crowd

We went to a river museum just across the street from Dene' and T's apartment. We learned everything there is to learn about the Mississippi River and the steam boats that navigate it.





Photo op on the boat.





The newest river boat captain!



Such a good looking bunch.



Tyler is looking at the one that got away.



So next time you're planning your vacation or driving through Dubuque...stop and spend sometime with these two people...you"ll be glad you did.





Dubuque...is for lovers.
