This free showroom in Moline has some pretty awesome machines that you can walk around and even climb into. The giant combine (supposedly $1.4 million!!!) is quite the sight as are many of the other tractors. They have antique tractors and machinery too. They also tell the story of the John Deere company but this snazzy place could use a video on the history. Next door is a huge gift shop with everything green and yellow. Free parking behind the building. Definitely worth a stop.

(We were just in a hotel lobby with a loud waterfall and grumpy hotel staff.) I loved the instructor but do wish he would've gone a little more step-by-step. However, I understand that everyone has different teaching styles. He was incredibly helpful and always willing to come and offer advice if asked. He was very enthusiastic about art and painting. His sense of humor was great, and he had all of us laughing at one point or another. Should you highly consider your venue. Yes. Would I recommend Vino Van Gogh? Yes!

The Google machine brought me to the visitors bureau. For $7 an hour you can rent a nice bike to use on the miles of trails surrounding the river. The bikes are new seeming Trek bicycles and you're offered the option of getting a lock and a helmet. There's also a water bottle cage in case you think you're going to get thirsty. The visitor's bureau is more gift shop than bicycle rental shop, but...there's a lot of neat stuff to see. They also offer segway tours throughout the week. I didn't have time or I would have checked that out, too. Definitely worth checking out if you're in from out of town and want to go exploring.

If you schedule a tour, please show up on time. The guide waited on people that was late. Also, don't take a tour if you plan to be disruptive and talk about non-related items the entire tour. The tour guide had a lot of patience with the audience, and we could tell that the constant laughter and cackling was a distraction to him.
