Even though Sarah and I might not have the money or the time to go on a honeymoon right after the wedding, it hasn’t stopped us from thinking about it. Somehow, Sarah has been taken with the idea of cruising down the Mississippi wearing a sun bonnet and a smile. Having never been on a boat for more than an hour, the idea of a cruise scares me a bit, but I will admit there is something nice about the idea of rolling down the big muddy.
Options appear somewhat limited, but there are some (going from Chicago to New Orleans is pretty expensive and lengthy). If you’re not tied to the river, leaving from Chicago and circling Lake Michigan is a shorter and cheaper option, too. If we aren’t able to find the time for a week on the water we can always take a daytime excursion on an old-timey steam boat at pretty much any city on the Mississippi.
