The Mighty Mississippi

Just a few comments~

1. These pictures were taken from the east side of the Mississippi River (from the top of the Capitol).

2. I didn't know people actually lived west of the Mississippi River.

3. Now I actually live west of the Mississippi River!!!

4. EVERY time our family drives across the Mississippi River, my historically-minded husband says, "The mighty Mississippi, leading geographical feature of these fifty nifty United States, transportation backbone of our great country, inspirer of dreams and stories. The Mighty Mississippi River." (Feel free to use that the next time you cross the Mississippi River!)
