Well, I didn't exactly win the Madtown Pickleball Open. We won some games but we also lost enough to get eliminated before advancing very far. My foot has been bothering me, so that gives me a good excuse to take a break from pickleball and get hitched up.
Last week, we drove to Shady Creek COE, one of our favorite Mississippi River campgrounds and just north of Muscatine, Iowa.
The new sign is a gift from Julia’s brother Scott.
We didn’t have any big plans. I spent some time reading. Callie kept an eye on things.
We made it to our favorite happy hour at Muscatine's Contrary Brewing, where Monday beers are $4.
Julia had a hazy IPA. I had a half pour of imperial stout, which I savored for just as long as Julia's larger beer. I'm not a huge imperial fan, but this was probably the best that I've ever had.
We made it back in plenty of time to enjoy an evening camped next the the big river.
