Summertime on the Mississippi River

We are back at one of our favorite places to Scamp in Wisconsin. Yesterday afternoon, we hitched up and drove to a camping spot north of LaCrosse.  There was a small band playing at the Trempealeau  Hotel just overlooking the Mississippi River.  Unfortunately for the band, there were busy train tracks between the river and the stage, making things more “interesting.”  They had a good sense of humor about it and played some extra “train songs.” This morning, we hiked the Riverview Trail and up Brady’s Bluff.  This is a beautiful part of Wisconsin.

Changes


“Well, I’ve been afraid of changin’
‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older, too.”  (Fleetwood Mac-“Landslide”)
 
 
Yesterday, my son graduated from high school.  For many reasons, education for Justin has been a battle.  He overcame many physical and social obstacles.
 

 
Today, we spent a couple of hours at his new school and home:  University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.  He plans to major in social work and will start a summer transitions program in July.  There are still unknowns and obstacles ahead, but we will take those day-by-day.
 
For now, we can sit back and celebrate his victories.
