On our way to Michigan, we made a few stops in Rockford, Illinois to see a few sights. Here we are on the shore of the Rock River. If you look across on the other side behind us, you will see the ROCKFORD letters on the shore. The weather was hot but it was a nice day anyway.
We also found this mural on the side of the bridge over the river. It is not the best spot for photos which is why we are not in the photo.
Rockford has a triathlon every year along the river and it was going to be that Sunday. Lots of roads and paths were already closed. We came to see the Rock Men Guardians which are twelve feet tall and made of rocks held together with cement. Because of the triathlon, they are wearing giant t-shirts. They were built in the late 1980’s and are still standing tall and proud.
Here are the four men, each is a bit different. Some say two are women, but no one has confirmed or denied the rumor that we could find. They are fun to see.
Before leaving Rockford, we had to stop for a photo with the Magical Thinking Bunny. You know we are rabbit crazy! Speaking of crazy, there is a silly mural behind us on the Disco Chicken restaurant. It is a crazy area there! See ya next time, Rockford!
