Day 1: Today's Edition Road Trip Down the Mississippi !

Minneapolis to Dubuque! Such beauty.

Here's a secret, though. We didn't make any detailed plans for our tour. We booked air flights, and hotels, and that's it! We just drove down the river and let our spirits go where they may. Our unstructured approach allowed us to avoid stress...no deadlines in the day! And also opened up opportunities to see things we would never have planned to visit!

The best part of the day, though, is just being with Robert. He's my favorite.
