Paducah is the nearest, um, big city to us. It's about 20K to 30K people and is an historic city. Lots to see and do if you are a history buff. The riverfront is a lovely place to visit and some foresighted people stepped in about 20 years ago to make a move to "save" the downtown area, filled with historic beauty. It was a wonderful success and the downtown area near the riverfront is thriving. Lots to do, see, enjoy! Even ultra-luxury apartments overlooking the river. Whoa!
Now, to our "tradition." One of the businesses in the downtown on Broadway is the Ice Cream Factory at Riverplace. Yum, yum, double yum. They make all their ice cream, which is why we visit every summer. They're only open a portion of the year and we make it a point to enjoy some of their creamy treats. Our favorite is something called the "Iron Horse." Just flat out GOOD!
One of our "treats" today, in addition to our delicious ice cream, was that the American Queen and the America, both huge paddle wheel boats were docked at the port at the end of Broadway.
This area was about a short block from our ice cream heaven.
Here are some pictures of our day. The first one is of the American Queen. I love her stacks. The second one is of America. She's lovely but not as ornate as the former one. The last photo is of a tug boat doing it's thing along the river, just away and between the two beautiful river boats.
