Well, we made it Minneapolis.
Barely.
Let me tell you…if warm weather late into fall is called an Indian Summer, I don’t even know what to call the weather we are having right now. Well, I know what to call it, but those words are not appropriate for my younger readers.
Okay, I’ll say it. It’s poopy. Down right poopy, I tell you.
Our day started out great. Blue sunny skies in Minot. We got coffee from Sweet and Flour {the best place to get coffee in Minot} then headed out.
But about half way the weather turned into this.
I thought for sure we’d drive out of it eventually. I thought wrong. This lasted the rest of the drive. 5.5 hours later {it takes 3.5-4 hours in clear weather} we arrived. Yes, that is the highway. Speed limit 70. Traffic pace 40 mph.
After a good dinner at the Cheesecake Factory the weather looked like this.
Poor Katie! She’s just a little California Raisin. This is no way to treat a girl on her birthday.
Good thing our hotel offers a free shuttle to the Mall of America. No more driving for us until it’s time to go home. Hopefully by then it will be over.
Seriously, this is nuts.
