Day 1: The Mighty Mississippi River beckons us! While getting acquainted, we travel through farmlands and over hills to our overnight stay in eastern Iowa.

Day 2: Arguably, one of the most famous cornfields in the world can be found at the iconic Field of Dreams Movie Site. Take a tour of the Farmhouse, have a catch, sit on the bleachers, and chat with a ghost player. After lunch, we visit the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium. A Smithsonian Affiliate is part aquarium, part museum, and part science center, telling the story of America’s Rivers. After checking into our hotel, we set out for a Historic Progressive Dinner, enjoying a guided tour through the city’s rich past with a delicious course served at each stop. And yes — dessert is part of the journey. (B, L, D)

Day 3: Time to board the Celebration Belle and join our Captain and Crew for a day on the Mighty Mississippi River. Become Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn for the day! We start in Dubuque IA, cruising south to the Quad City. Your day can be what you make of it, a learning experience or simply a leisurely cruise down the Mississippi. There are 2 observation decks to sit in and enjoy the views. Come hungry, no cruise would be complete without food! Our chefs stay busy all day long preparing 3 fresh meals right aboard the boat. Overnight at a hotel in La Crosse WI. (B, L, D)

Day 4: What fun we experienced on the Mighty Mississippi. We take with us fond memories of days gone by and look forward to making new memories of our own as we head home. (B, L)
