Four states in one day today! Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. We got off to a rough start as the fire wouldn’t get going. It had rained so the wood we found was too wet and would smoke instead of igniting. We found a cute cafe and had a breakfast that filled our hungry tummies and helped us be patient. The first leg of our trip went really well - the girls slept for about an hour and then were easily entertained with the toys I packed for them.
We stopped in a Panera near(ish) Chicago for lunch.
The next leg of the trip was the longest yet - over four hours! It went surprisingly well, again the girls were entertained and then slept, I also have a plentiful stash of snacks to keep them going. We stopped in a (creepy horror-movie-style) small town to get gas and let the girls and the dog play at the park for a bit.
The last two-hour leg of the trip was the hardest. They were both hungry and the toddler (Miss Z) threw her toys a few times. Finally we made it to Minneapolis and had dinner and we are ready for bed in a hotel tonight. We are super excited to discover the Mall of America tomorrow!
Oh also, the hubby and I started looking for different license plates and we found 32 today (plus 3 Canadian ones)!
