Winona, Wabasha, LaCrosse

 We did so much hiking on this trip, despite such horrible heat! On this trip we’ve hiked in Great River Bluffs State Park, John A. Latch State Park, Trempealeau Wildlife Refuge, Frontenac State Park as well as the local river walk in Winona, and a bit around downtown Wabasha.

Yesterday on our final day, I made us an omelette, and we enjoyed a leisurely start to the day. We were packed up early and checked out of the Airbnb by 9am, and decided to break up the drive home with some last minute hiking. We first checked out this little trail right across the river from where we stayed, called the Agaming Trail, and this little funky shanty river village right on the waters, kind of reminiscent of the fishing village homes along the fjords in Norway. You can watch the most adorable mother & baby snapping turtles swimming together in the video! So cute!

It was a very relaxing trip, so good to get away from the normal schedule for a while and you always feel a million miles away from normal worries when traveling, but we were so grateful to return to our wonderful home, and our very comfortable bed! And blessed be central air!
