American Queen
This is the paddlewheel from the American Queen cruise boat. Katherine and I didn't go on a cruise, but her grandparents went on one that went down the Mississippi - and stopped in Dubuque along the way. We met up with the just after lunch and took them on a tour of Deere. Afterwards, they took us on a tour of their cruise ship.

Whistles
These are the whistles on the boat. You could get pretty close to them considering they are powered by hot steam. In the background is the Iowa-Illinois bridge.
My American Queen
This is the smokestack on the boat. Katherine thought it would be funny if she was wearing it like a crown. Looks pretty good on her.
Fine Dining
This is the dining hall. They ate in style. We were told they weren't alowed to show up for dinner wearing jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts.
