It's been a long time since I last traveled westward, but not much has changed. My mom and I still left an hour later than we said we would; got stuck in traffic; laughed at weird sights along the road (plastic cows standing on top of a propane tank were pretty funny); ate lunch at a cute little local restaurant in Crown Point that served a dish they called "Viking" (which of course I got--it was ok, but instead of American pancakes it came with skinny Swedish pancakes which are not quite as good); sang songs; and got lost around nasty Chicago and ended up headed to not-Minesota-Milwaukee, which didn't end up being such a bad thing 'cause we were still headed in the general direction of our hotel in Wisconsin.
All this, and this was the shortest day of travel! Tomorrow's 10 hours should be interesting (and by interesting I mean so boring that we both go crazy and start pretending that we're Hans Solo and Chewy driving through space, making little pew sounds as we shoot at all the semis driving past). Keep an eye on my blog to hear about all the adventures as my mom and I make our way to Yellowstone and Glacier National Park!
