Day 14 Part 1 Overview

On this day, I started my return trip back to Georgia and take a short tour of Saint Paul, Minnesota.  Included in the video is a tour of Como Park, the Minnesota State Fair Grounds, Summit Avenue, the State Capitol, and Downtown Saint Paul. 

A good portion of the music for this video is from the Peanuts (Charlie Brown) specials in the 1960’s.  Charles M. Schulz, the creator of Peanuts, was from Saint Paul, Minnesota.

I lived in Saint Paul, Minnesota for 12 years from 2001 to 2013.  I think Saint Paul is a great city to live in, but I am not a huge fan of the Minnesota winters which is why I moved to California in 2017 and near Atlanta, Georgia in 2020. 😊

Day 14 Part 2 will cover the ride on Wisconsin Highway 35 along the east side of the Mississippi River and onto Peru, Illinois.
