The Great River Road is calling! We'll depart the Twin Cities late morning on Friday en route to Marquette, Iowa where we'll stay the night. On the way we'll explore the small towns and back roads that make up the river valley. Dinner will be at a classic supper club in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.
On Saturday we'll head to the Amana Colonies in Iowa. These seven German villages are recognized as National Historic Landmarks and feature hand-crafted products (including beer and wine).
