Saturday is a free day for all of us. Took the van all the way to the Mississippi Museum. The journey from Cedar Rapids to Dubuque was like around one half hour.

Had lunch there and I had this really yummy Cold Stone ice cream! Caramel Turtle temptation! so yummy can!

And the museum was soooo cool! It's kinda like a zoo cum underwater world cum historical museum. They had like the background history of the Mississippi flood and they had like aquariums with the different fishes which I have never seen before. And there was this room which was pretty scary for me. They had like real fur of animals like fox, badger, raccoon and more. And it is real ok. I am so freaked out and I don't dare to touch it knowing that it is a real one. I can just imagine the hunters catched them and killed them and cut out their skin and gorge their eyes out. My god.

And then we explored the place and on the second level had the many different types of lizards and some snakes. I don't like. And there was also like the history about the river and the steamboat and stuff like that. And they also have like the different types of frogs and those gross things which I don't like.

After the museum, we headed for the river cruise which is just beside the museum. I loved it. I've never taken a cruise before. But I've took a ferry but it's not like cruise. And the weather was sunny but it wans't like Singapore sunny. Singapore is hot and humid. Here is like sunny yet cooling. Very cooling. The wind was lovely. The cruise was about one half hour as well and the scenery is beautiful.

Headed back to the hotel and ordered Aladdin for dinner. It is one of the Halal restaurants that I had googled on and it claims that it is Halal. Had Spicy chicken combo for USD 6.99. It comes with rice and spicy chicken kebab. Kinda salty for my liking but it was so nice since it's been ten days without chicken already.

Finally the day that I had been waiting for had come. We'll be going to Williamsburg for the factory outlet shopping tomorrow! So excited but sadly, my money is depleting :(
