There was no way I was going to miss the Calypso landing in St Paul, Minnesota back when the team studied that river. My son was in diapers, and I wasn't going to let him miss it either. All the paddleboats in St Paul welcomed and led her into dock, and it was incredible and thrilling. Jacques didn't really do the trip, but they helio'd him onto the Calypso right before she docked so he could walk off her and greet the crowd.
A moment I will do my best to never forget! If I do, at least there are pictures for my son even though he doesn't remember it at all, lol!
