Trip to Minnesota via...






a CAR! I know, you all probably think Kevin and I are CRAZY for attempting this 23 hour trip with our 8 yr. old and 4 yr. old, but they were troopers! We left Monday morning at 4am from Spokane and drove 10.5 hours to Miles City, Montana. The Econolodge there was disgusting, but it was okay for overnight. Tuesday morning we got up and left Miles City at 5am and got into St. Paul, Minnesota around 5:30pm.

The girls were such troopers. Beside stopping for breakfast each morning and a couple potty stops, we didn't stop. Okay, we did have to stop in North Dakota at a city called "Steele" because, as many of you know, it's my family name. Crazy!!!

We are here until Monday morning, at which we will turn around and go back. We'll be stopping at Silverwood, so that will, hopefully, give the girls something to look forward to going home.

Visiting Kevin's brother, Chris, and his family is amazing. Since the Brennan family is so large, we hardly spend "alone" time with them ever. It has been awesome to chat without ALL the family around.

Today, we went to the Mall of America and spent a majority of the day at Nickleodian Universe. Man...it was awesome and Tai Lyn -n- Marli had a BLAST! I, however, went shopping with my 4 month old niece. Kevin and his bro did the "ride thing." It was a win-win for all!!!!

I'll keep you posted on how it all goes...
