Today we awoke at 9:00 because breakfast ended at 9:30 according to the Guest Guide in our room. I arrived only to find no breakfast! The desk person said that it ended at 9:00. When I mentioned the Guest Guide, she said that was from "Before Covid". She offered me one of their snack bags--we had the ones from check-in the day before, so I said no thanks. They bags contain a bottle of water, a nutrigrain bar, and a red delicious apple wrapped up in plastic wrap. Nice thought, but not the same as a hot breakfast.
So we were on the road in Indiana before 10:00. We stopped for gas and picked up muffins at the gas station (again, not the same as a hot breakfast). Then on the road. Randy drove until 3:00 when we stopped for gas and a meal in Illinois. Taco Bell for lunch (no french fries rule) and I drove until we got home. Stopped once in Eau Claire for gas, and once at the Minnesota border for a bathroom break. We stopped at Shelby's around 10 to get Randy's car that she was using while we were gone, talked to her and Adrian for a few minutes, then went home. The mail had restarted today instead of tomorrow, so there was a pile to go through. We unpacked, had frozen pizzas for dinner (heated up of course), and relaxed before bed. It's well after midnight now, so I'm thinking that bed is sounding good after all of that driving!

| I forgot this from our first night in DC: Do you see Minnesota on the top tier, directly over the door leading to President Lincoln (Lincoln Memoria)? That prominence shows the importance of Minnesota! |
