post #1 from the road...

wow... we made it (to fargo at least)... the first day went really well... all the way to billings, montana (854 miles)... we left dupont at about 4:10 in the a.m. ... drove all day.... or should i say ALL day... but when we got there cracker barrel awaited us for dinner and then swimmin at our favorite hotel... the c'mon inn(great hotel chain)...
day two brought us to fargo(610miles)... to see gwens brother greg and that meant a stop at space aliens... the kids absolutely love that restaurant... great food, video games and tickets... those nasty tickets that you work so hard to get and end up with a green bouncy ball with the face of an alien... great times though...
then to uncle gregs house to rest, relax and enjoy uncle... thanks for the great breakfast... we sure do love you uncle greg...

(day three) on to minnesota... post again from there soon...

You are creating some great "Remember When" memories! ("Remember when our parents got us on the road by 4:00 a.m. so that we could get to Billings before the hotel swimming pool closed?")

If your kids need something new to do in the next 1500 miles, you may want to print some of these:

Have fun and drive safely! I've thought of you several times since you've hit the road.
