Road Trip

On Monday morning at 5:40 we took off for B.C. to spend time with Vern's parents.  We have never made the trip via car without stopping to overnight anywhere.  So this was a whole new experience for us.  We are feeling our age and are past pulling all-nighters.  However, we took off on this adventure with many people praying for us as we traveled.  We had a two hour stop in Chicago to see my parents and Grandmother, and we had another two hour stop at a rest stop. We arrived Wednesday morning at 2:30 a.m. We are thankful for the strength and stamina to make it all the way here. 

Here is some random facts about our trip. The cheapest gas was in Flint, MI. for $3.38 a gallon.  The most expensive was Chicago but we never fill up there so Montana was our most expensive fill up at $3.81 a gallon.  

Our favorite state besides IL. since I was born and raised there was N.D.  Our reasons for loving N.D. are: 
1) Speed limit is 75  
2) No Traffic, 
3) reasonable gas at $3.59 a gallon
4)  Awesome rest areas, They were clean and welcoming, and had free WiFi

We are now enjoying some good family time.   

YEA!  WE MADE IT!!!
