I'm typing at you from Beloit College this morning. After Montana, Audrey and I drove endlessly across North Dakota (the most blah state yet, sorry Mandi) and slept at a Motel 6 in Bismark. The next day, we drove into Minnesota and stopped in St. Cloud for a concert by Mason Jennings (one of our favorite artists) on our way to the Twin Cities. We spent two nights in St. Paul with Audrey's college pal Nicholle and arrived in Wisconsin yesterday evening. It's been fun seeing Audrey's campus and meeting some of her college friends. We spent the night with LaVaughn, an elderly lady Audrey befriended at her church here in Beloit. Next stop: Chicago.
Now, for a couple highlights from our drive through Wisconsin yesterday:
Butterburgers and frozen custard at Culver's, a very midwest fast-food joint (they also sell cheese curds, but I didn't have room to sample them)
Amish horse-drawn buggies in the lane next to ours at a stoplight (they were heading home from a shopping trip at WalMart)

You made me laugh about that ND comment, Bethany! :) That's encouraging....At least you didn't stay at the "Ramkota"...where I stayed in Bismark. Nice hotel, lame name...I had a few remarks about it, especially after being stuck in ND an extra 24 hours by United, especially when I was supposed to be on a plane with Maggie...
YES YES!!!! You make me happy with your blogs!!!! I love how easy the internet makes it to follow along!!! keep up the posts!!! I hope you guys are having a BLAST!!! I'm sure you are!!! Do something outrageous for me ok?!?!? oh... and spit off of a brigde somewhere for me k?
Wait!!!! The Amish are allowed to shop at Walmart?!?!? Isn't that against their religion? I'm excited to make our own trip to Chicago...you ate at all our "must eat" places...can't wait for the rock...:)
