Yesterday, we got up at the crack of dawn
(5:00 a.m. to be exact).
We were to be in Alexandria by 7:15 to board the bus
for Stillwater, Minnesota.
Dodie, Evie, Amy and I made the trip
It was a hot day, but was still fun.
As soon as we arrived in Stillwater, we
boarded the paddleboat for a two hour cruise.
Include in this cruise was a buffet lunch.
After lunch, we were able to go to the top deck
(or bottom deck, if we preferred).
It was so calming and the breeze off of the St. Croix River
felt wonderful.
After the cruise, a trolley car was waiting for us to take us
around some of the historical sights of the city.
There were lots of things I never knew:
Like the area around Stillwater was once a part of Wisconsin.
Ot that Stillwater and St. Paul were contenders to be the capital city.
Or did you know Stillwater is the oldest city in Minnesota?
We had a good time, but by the time we got home, we were tired out!!
The paddleboat.
The "trolley" car
I loved all those old houses with the big porches
on the front and back of the house!
Stillwater is quite hilly!
The top deck of the paddleboat - room to sit & enjoy the view
