That was a road trip Nick, I bet the family have great memories and are now bushed.
They had some sleep in the car, but I'm sure a bed is a lot better!
Here we are leaving the hotel this morning, and yes the engine spent the night in the room with us
The wooden box fit in the van with less than an inch to spare
This was also the perfect time to make the trip, as any earlier in the year we could have hit a snowstorm and if we waited another week, some of the roads may be under water from the melting snow... that was a ditch and corn field beyond the fence line
We had to stop in Rothsay, MN to see the big prairie chicken
And Alexandria to see Big Ole. We vacation near Alex every year and all through my childhood, I had to take my picture sitting on Big Ole's foot. He was blonde when I was younger, but recently had a re-paint
