First of all,the city of Davenport has nothing to do with sofas. That term comes from a now-defunct furniture manufacturer in Boston, A. H. Davenport. It means different things in different parts of the country.
The city on the Mississippi River was named after a General George Davenport.
The weather was mostly overcast with occasional sprinkles on the way down. I did spy an eagle flying along the palisades just inside Illinois, however, and a small herd of deer in a field with the biggest rack of antlers I have ever seen on a live buck.
We are staying at the Radisson right downtown, a block or two from the river. The wedding wil be at a museum about a block away. Time to start getting cleaned up and ready to hit the sidewalk.
Updates as details warrant. The latest news from Facebook is that Steve is getting more excited by the minute. I just hope Rick can keep him calm until they get married!
