August 31, 2014. Road trip to Mississippi River

CAMPGROUND:  Another day at Autumn Woods

LOCATION:  Rochester, MN in SE Minnesota

WEATHER:  Nice. Highs in 80s.  Storm in evening

We took daughter Alexis and her boyfriend Graham on a road trip to the Mississippi, about 40 miles from Rochester.  First we drove through Lake City, where there were a lot of sailboats on the lake.  Then down to Reads Landing for lunch and for one of their own beers.

We drove along the Mississippi that we jokingly called the Minnesota Riviera, as there were so many people out boating and swimming.

 

Back in Rochester, we all went to Whistle Binkies, our favorite neighborhood pub.  

We relaxed in the evening and watched 60 Minutes which we haven't seen in months.  

DINNER:  I'm trying to use leftovers, as we will be heading to Ann Arbor soon.  I sautéed leftover onions, celery, and corn.  I microwaved a sweet potato to add to the soup, but forgot to take it out.  Has anyone else ever done that?
