Howdy all. Juli and were invited to spend New Years with Semi and Ms Semi. So we loaded up and headed to Alton on Wednesday. The plan was to board a river boat, have dinner and spend New Years on the boat. It was really cold after the sun went down, here we are waiting to board the boat.

Dinner was superb. Filet Mignon that you could cut with a fork, a skewer of shrimp, twice baked potatoes, and asparagus sprouts. Dessert was cheesecake. Mmmmm good!

I tried to go topside to take some pictures, but the combination of the cold air and boat movement made it impossible to keep still.

Breakfast the next morning, I need to remember where that was. Good food.

I learned some neat things about Alton during our visit. This is home the worlds tallest man. Died at the age of 22 at 8' 11.1". This pic of me beside his statue is his actual size. And home to Illinois' first federal pen. The second pic is the of what is left of a wall of the first prison.
