Get off the interstate and try some scenic drives throughout Minnesota's Bluffland, Prairieland, Red River Country, the untouched forests of Arrowhead, alongside the headwaters of the Mississippi River, and, of course, the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
I love this travel book series for a place where you are going to be in the area for awhile--there are some great little finds that we have alot of fun finding and going to.
