The boat trip was nice and relaxing, and the sun was out so it was a perfect day! For the first half of the trip we sat out on the front lower level deck and enjoyed the scenery and sun.
We both liked the trip but thought that it was a little long; we both agreed that in about half of the time we could have seen about the same things.
I overheard some people talking right before we turned the boat around saying this is where the Mississippi and the Minnesota Rivers meet so I thought that was interesting.
I was a little disappointed in no paddles on the boat, on the drive back the sun went down and the wind picked up so Shane and I went inside to the top deck and looked out the back and no paddles...
I now can say that I have been down the Mississippi River, I am a little spoiled where I live, 2 miles from the St Croix River so paddleboats, canoes and tubes are something we do often with our family and friends. There has never been a need or interest for us to drive to St Paul to experience the same things that we can do in our backyard. I am glad that this class gave me this experience otherwise we would have never done it.
