Minnesota

It was a long journey through the night.  We had little trouble with the rv and had to get a jump around 3:30am.  But we arrived safely in Lakeville Minnesota around 6:30 am.  Andy and Sharon were outside waiting for our arrival.  They weren't sure when we would be there, so Andy had the plug and a sign waiting outside the garage for us.  We ate, showered (in a full size shower), worked on the rv and are planning to head to the mall soon.

Michigan

Arrived safely in Michigan, and took a nap at Walmart.  Did a little shopping; visited with Joe's co-workers in his Michigan office and then had dinner with Joe's friend Rob.  Around 4:30pm we started for Minnesota.  Around Chicago, we went through the most intense lightning storm.  It looked like a bolt of lightning struck right in front of us on the highway!

Niagra Falls

We ended up taking the scenic route to Niagra Falls, but we arrived safely.  We walked along the falls during the daylight, had a bite to eat and then walked back and viewed the falls at night.  Departure time was around midnight.

First Destination

We arrived safely at our first destination around 12:30 am.  Joe drove the first half and Kathy drove the last.  We can tell we are on vacation, because we got up this morning and it was raining.  According to the forecast it is suppose to clear.  So hopefully it will be nice by the time we get to Niagra Falls.

Shopping, Packing and Checking the list

As the day of departure approaches, we are busy checking on what we need and packing.  Joe and the boys went to BJ's for a little food and snack shopping.  They filled the cabinets quickly.  We can't believe we leave in only a few days!
