Mississippi Headwaters

On our way to Itasca State Park we attended Rich's retirement party and Carson met new cousins! He had great fun, photos below.

I've always thought it would be fun to walk across the Mississippi river and that is possible at the headwaters of the mighty river so we were headed North. Along the way we had no real plans except to experience whatever there was along the way. We had lunch Sunday noon at a downtown cafe. Great roast beef dinner. Only regret is we should have had the pie! Then we stumbled upon a cute farm full of fun shops. Our next adventure was at World of Christmas and Carson quickly found the train ride! All this PLUS the Mississippi. After that a couple of days in Grand Rapids before heading home.
