DAY #1:
HOLIDAY TIME!!!! YAY!!!!!
So...... we shaved off a few hours by heading to Fargo this afternoon, instead of making the long trek to Bozeman, MT tomorrow. It would've been a 14 hour drive, now it will only be 11ish.
We stopped in Grand Forks for supper at Golden Coral. It was a typical American buffet with lots of seriously obese people chowing down. The food was ok, but it didn't sit well with either of us. Dot had a roadside emergency… She could barely hold it in, and thought we'd have a serious clean-up to take care of. Let's just say we've never been happier to see a truck stop.
I couldn't believe how much construction there was between Winnipeg and Fargo. It's pretty much the entire stretch. I hope this isn't a theme, but considering the economic stimulus projects the US gov't has going on, I think we'll see much more of it. Just south of Grand Forks my windshield took one for the team. See pic in our 2009 Road Trip album. It was a boulder that hit us, not just a stone. It's approx. 3-4 inches in diameter.
Our hotel (Settle Inn) in Fargo is really nice. Another great priceline.com find!! It is a brand new hotel just opened in January 2009, 32" LCD flat screen tv, water slide, free breakfast, comfy beds, free WiFi, etc. We got it for $45!!! SWEET!!!!
It is 8:04pm, so we are going to run out and check things out. We will be up early in the morning to hit the open road. We'll be sure to take lots of pics
Ciao for now!!!
