I stayed on the dock for hours: water splashed, insects chirped, large perches frolicked, herons came to visit, black scoters dove and bobbed up.
Excellent golf course - Meadowview - is 13 minutes away! And two more a little further.
Alamo steakhouse is 14 minutes drive; their crème brûlée is to die for! Steaks are also great :)
Abraham Lincoln's family farm is 20 minutes away, so is the cemetery where Thomas Lincoln, Abraham's father, is buried. The farm is a state park, run by volunteers, filled with new (for me) information, and we met the oldest living relative of Abraham Lincoln.
When we arrived, Butterfingers, Kit-Kat, Hershey's and Reese's cups waited for us in the kitchen.
We will certainly be coming back!
