Our excitement for the day builds as we enjoy breakfast at the hotel. First we will visit the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium where history, wildlife, and river lore come to life. Then we will spend a special day aboard the Riverboat Twilight. This all-day cruise heads south from Dubuque, allowing us to experience towering bluffs, two Locks & Dams, and quaint river towns along the beautiful Mississippi River. Our cruise includes a full lunch, snacks, and dinner as well as historical narration by our captain who has been piloting riverboats for 30 years on the Upper Mississippi River. Anticipate great scenery, eagles and other migratory birds, more relaxation than you have allowed yourself in years, plus live entertainment!

After exploring this interesting museum, we’re treated to lunch at their commissary! Then we’ll cut northeast across Illinois and into Wisconsin. Mid-afternoon we will check into the Holiday Inn Express in Ft. Atkinson and enjoy their Welcome Reception. Then after freshening up, get ready for a wonderful plated dinner and show at the Fireside Dinner Theatre. We will be seeing the “Million Dollar Quartet, a Tony-nominated Jukebox musical that brings to life an unforgettable night in music history. Set on December 4, 1956, it recreates the legendary jam session at Sun Records in Memphis, when Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins unexpectedly converged in the studio – and wound up changing the trajectory of rock ‘n’ roll! The show explores themes of ambition, rivalry, redemption, and camaraderie as well as both humorous and poignant moments woven into the narrative. We’ll be treated to a powerful live performance of more than 20 classic hits by these stars!
