3 Days...7 States...5 Hours from Home

 
I LOVE ROAD TRIPS!!!

Well I am almost done with my journey from Boston to Minneapolis! It has been a great trip for the most part. The first day after I drove away from Boston with tears in my eyes, I drove 9 hours and stayed with the grandparents of 2 of the kids I babysat in Boston. They were so sweet, it reminded me of staying with host families on Day Camps. The next day with Nicholas Spark's The Wedding in my CD player I drove 11 hours to Indiana to stay with my Cousin Holly. Listening to a book on cd it made the time go by very quickly. Than I left my cousins at 3:30 the next day I thought I would make it home by midnight, but you would think after living near a big city for two years I would know better than to try and travel through it during rush hour. I ended up having to go on a detour through Chicago because 94 was under construction and it took me an extra two hours to get through Chicago. I can't say that I love Chicago right now. :) Than as I crossed the WI state line I noticed that there are deathly black clouds in front of me, which turned out to be a hail strom...so I was delayed for another half hour. So I didn't make it back to Minneapolis tonight as planned. Instaed I am in a hotel in Madison, which is fine, because I still have 5 hours to go and I wouldn't have been able to finish the trip tonight. But I am ready to be home. That is all I have, over all it has been a smooth trip, my girl blue has been good to me. Tomorrow I will be home...that is a wonderful thing. I hope that everyone is well...Below is one of the ways I kept myself entertained for the past 3 days :)
