Sergeant Floyd River Museum

I finally got my new camera! As I said in a previous post, it is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200. I used it on one trip so far, and I already love it. The continuous shooting is lightning fast, which is what I was hoping for. I'll have a future post giving a few more detailed thoughts on it.

My first trip with my new camera was to a museum on a riverboat. This place is called the Sergeant Floyd River Museum. It is dedicated mostly to Sergeant Floyd, who was on the Lewis and Clark expedition. The boat is the M.V. Sergeant Floyd.

Unfortunately I was concentrating so much on my new camera and taking pictures that I blew through this place without slowing down to get much information. I'll have to read everything a little more next time I go to this place. I got some good pictures though.

I'm writing this post late at night, and I'm still excited about my little trip and my new camera. I don't like to make my posts too long, so I won't take you inside the museum until my next post. But I have these pictures from outside.

I'll have to take another trip here pretty soon because the Missouri River and another few buildings to explore are right there. I didn't want to do too much in one trip so I only went to the one place. I'm not used to doing much yet, so I thought I'd take it a bit easy.

I have to say I was tired when I was all through with everything. I'm not used to this kind of stuff yet. Rush hour traffic in Sioux City seemed extra busy to me because I live in such a rural area now. I'm not used to the city any more. Sioux City is actually a peaceful city compared to most though.

The museum is a fun place, and the whole area surrounding it is built for recreation. There's a nice walking trail that goes along the river, and a few other places that are similar to this museum. I'll be back there again soon to explore all of these places. And in my next post I'll take you inside the museum.

In the end I came, I saw, I bought a t-shirt. I think a museum on a riverboat is a fun idea, and I'm glad I got to visit it. I hope to go again and again. Maybe next time I'll slow down enough to be able to share some of the actual information that is available there. Talk to you later.
