I really felt like I was "home" when we went there. I've rarely felt so comfortable elsewhere.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-3460098872059727812008-08-31T23:41:00.000-04:002008-08-31T23:41:00.000-04:00I'm going to visit friends and see the new musical...I'm going to visit friends and see the new musical "Little House on the Prairie," both of which I'm very excited about. Seeing the Mississippi is a side benefit. Hopefully someday I'll get to see more of it, but hey, you've gotta start somewhere - so why not close to the beginning! ;-)Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-42956051575610924382008-08-31T23:35:00.000-04:002008-08-31T23:35:00.000-04:00Why are you headed out to Minneapolis?Unfortunatel...Why are you headed out to Minneapolis?<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, Minneapolis/St. Paul is not the most exciting place to see the river. It's split into a lot of little rivers there, some of them looking more like streams. By the time you get to the southern tip of Wisconsin (where it meets Iowa and Illinois), it's pretty large, though nowhere near as large as in LA. In Wisconsin, we used to live about 20 mins away from the Mississippi, and between that and traveling back and forth between TX and SC as a kid every year, I've seen the river more times than I can count. On the other hand, I've never been further west than El Paso.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
