Mississippi Lock & Dam Boat Cruise - Saturday, July 26

It’s been a couple of years, and lock and dam tours are on very limited dates. We are so fortunate to once again enjoy this tour… four hours of relaxation and a great buffet meal! We’re headed for Harriet Island in St. Paul where we’ll take in the beautiful sites along this historically narrated cruise, which travels through the Ford Lock and Dam - Lock #1, from St. Paul into Minneapolis then returning to Harriet Island. It truly is amazing how the riverboat is raised and lowered to get through the lock. Kids will love it, and we’ll most probably see eagles (and many dogs playing) along the river! We’ll be treated to an included buffet lunch of BBQ chicken, pulled pork with buns, green chili cheddar corn bread, potato salad, coleslaw, watermelon wedges, cookies and coffee.
