This picture describes two big aspects of our roadtrip today: lots of rest stop visits and a tremendous wind. The latter made it a little hard to drive and it probably affected our gas mileage. Did I mention that gas is really, really expensive? We left Minnesota seeing prices that made me gasp at $3.39 and thought we'd wait to see if it was cheaper in Wisconsin, Illinois, or even Indiana where we stopped. We actually had trouble finding prices below $3.50/gallon! The average has been about $3.60. Maybe not the best for a roadtrip, but how would we have known? Today is also my brother-in-law Kurt's birthday. Mom and I were arguing about whether it was today or two days ago, but I confirmed it. Happy Birthday Kurt!
