Wow, what an afternoon aboard a Mississippi riverboat (see, I know those third grade spelling lessons would come in handy - MI SSI SSI PPI). Good times had by all despite my horror at getting on an old yellow school bus. They smell the same, sound the same, feel the same - was never happier to get off a vehicle.

Jen Huffman shared her amazing eye talents,

The Mississippi impressed with raging beauty,

Our boat, the Mississippi Queen,

And the Fab Four: me, Mandy, Elizabeth, Jen.
