Hey everyone! The drive to Minneapolis really was not too bad. It’s about a 7 hour drive from Chicago to Minneapolis. Ryan and I woke up at 8:30 am and loaded up the car. We then had breakfast and said goodbye to Nancy. She told us that we should go visit the Bahai Temple on our way out of Chicago. So we did just that. The Bahai Temple is a place of worship for any kind of religion and it’s a beautiful dome Temple right on Lake Michigan several miles north of downtown Chicago. So we stopped and took pictures and then headed on our way through Wisconsin to Minnesota. There isn’t much to see in Wisconsin except lots of cows and some bluffs every once in a while. I am pretty sure that not only is Wisconsin the Cheese capital of the US, it is also the capital of indoor water parks. I am pretty sure that Ryan and I saw like 10 on the way here. Also, just to give everyone an idea of the scenery in Wisconsin, it’s like driving through Lancaster County but for 5 hours. Honestly though, it was a pretty relaxing trip.
There really isn’t too much more to say about the day, it was pretty uneventful. Ryan and I are officially on the west side of the Mississippi River. We passed over that just before we hit St. Paul, MN. Ryan and I are staying at a hotel about 4 miles away from the Mall of America. We are planning on going there tomorrow, riding the roller coasters, getting a haircut, buying some bad souvenirs and having dinner. An old high school friend of mine Lindsey is flying into Minneapolis tomorrow night to visit family (last minute) so hopefully we can meet up with her for dinner or something. Tonight, Ryan and I ate at Chilis cuz it was close to the hotel and we felt like something simple. Hopefully we can try a local place tomorrow for breakfast or lunch. There are two places in my Diners Drive In’s and Dives book. Well hope all is well back in good ole Philadelphia, PA. Goodnight!
