The Great River Road

Our Great River Roadtrip concludes at a lovely B&B in Winona. Charles' personal touches and delightful breakfasts made this a great choice!

Today we saw more Great River views, an Eagle Center, another Lock & Dam, and a unique sculpture garden – with lunch by two Grumpy Old Men.

Lots of stops on this moving day entertained us along the Great River Road. We saw a bounty of bridges and an eagle adorned in silverware!

As our Great River Roadtrip continues in the Twin Cities, what could be better than a combination of great friends and the Mississippi River?

With a winery, a wildlife refuge, a lock and dam, and plenty of trains (very close by) – our two-night stay in Trempealeau was just perfect.

In this post we spend time in Onalaska amazed with the beauty of its lake and river views (and its Sunfish) en route to our next two nights.

Our trip continues in La Crosse. Grandad Bluff, Pettibone Park, really big beers and a beautiful sunset by the river made this a perfect day.

We've been driving through La Crosse for years, but until this trip up the Mississippi, we've never spent much time here. Big mistake. Huge!

Despite the weather, we enjoyed the new state capitol with its observation deck, and the old state capitol with its amazing spiral staircase.

This post includes several days of exploring during our second visit to New Orleans in as many years. We dug way deeper into its history.

Today we made one stop in Darrow, LA that included a massive Great River Road Museum and a gorgeous plantation home with lovely gardens.

This post continues along the Mississippi to the literal end of the road, ALMOST to where the Mississippi flows into the Gulf of Mexico.

Our first stops were spent along the Mississippi. Plantations, traditions, history, and great seafood really got this road trip started!
