Sunset on the Mississippi 

2015 New England and MidWest, Minnesota, Road Trip

Prairie Island Campground in Winona MN sounded like a nice stopping place on our trek along the Mississippi shore according to the AllStays app. A phone call confirmed that they had a spot for us. But when we arrived we discovered that half this city park campground was hosting a Boats and Bluegrass Festival for 700 people this weekend and that the concert was sold out. The other side of the campground, where our site is located is filled to capacity but not so crazy. We walked down to the river to enjoy the sunset and lingered on a bench on a dock to enjoy the colors in the sky while music wafted in our direction. We’ll enjoy the relative quiet until the concert’s over this evening. Hopefully things will quiet down quickly afterwards. And we’ll move on again in the morning!

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!

Savoy at Sea 2025

The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
