Together we’ve crossed the Mississippi River countless times via bridges. A few years ago at Lake Itasca we did it across stepping stones. Today Karen did it on a stand up paddle board! Ever since our first experience trying a stand up paddle board in Wisconsin, Karen has been anxious to try it again. Today was a great opportunity. After the great Sunday morning exodus from Prairie Island Campground near Winona, Minnesota, we rented a paddle board and the headed to the bank. Astonishing both of us she quickly transitioned from knees to standing and maintained that position all the way across the river and back but at the last moment learned that it’s wise to transition again to knees just before landing. Despite that small mishap, she’s eager to do it again and again!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
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!
I’m so impressed with this! What fun! You go girl!!!
I agree with Amanda’s statement. Pretty cool feat.
Looks great! Enjoy your travels!
