Late start getting on the road today and damn if I am not a grumpy girl. Have I just gotten older and the thought of living out of a backpack has lost its allure? 89 miles into our drive today we left behind South Dakota and crossed into Minnesota - not that you could really tell the difference. I have found that to be true with most state border crossings - unless there is a sign you really can't tell one state from the other. Before leaving South Dakota we made one last pit stop at KINGS LIQUOR - alcohol in SD is cheap and what better time to stock up. We had lunch in Albert Lea, MN and ate in a park with some kids toys. Do you remember those old school wide metal flat slides? That's what they had in this park - it was crazy hot - and as Eric slid down first guess who got a singed backside? I don't know what was funniest watching him try to get down the slide faster or watching O watch his reaction.
Tonight we are in Mauston, WI - somewhere in the vicinity of Madison which has signs all over town advertising their cheese! We are staying at the craziest hotel. Orion is sleeping in the closet, there is a jacuzzi in the corner of the room, green carpet throughout. Let's just say we were desperate by the time we passed this town on the freeway. Tomorrow we are staying with Teresa in Chicago (Wheaton to be precise) and we are really looking forward to some good food and catching up.

I laughed pretty hard at the description of Eric burning his bum. I think you should post a pic of this fancy room.
No doubt...lmao funny! :) If NP doesn't work out, you can always take up writing! Thanks for the update...
Hope Chi town is fun.
You've only been gone less than a week, and I miss you already! Thanks again for the post!
Peace.
