January 2nd, time to head back home : (

We left Minneapolis, MN this morning around 8am. We were lucky to see Penny one more time before we left because we had left some things at her house and she was so nice to get them over to us before we left. THANKS PEN! Auntie Pat made a wonderful ham dinner the night before and was so nice to make us ham sandwiches for our lunch, this morning. They were tasty!

It was a cold, cold morning in the midwest! We hit -8 degrees, not counting the wind chill, so it must have been -60 below! It was chilly! Anyway, our first stop after we left Mpls, was St Cloud for some more coffee and then in the famous Fargo, ND for gas and some books. Our plan was to stop in Bismarck ND but we decided to keep going and we stopped in Dickinson, ND instead...almost to MT. The wind gusts made it a little hard to drive, we were tired and hungry...so we are now at a Holiday Inn Express, and they have a water slide!
