Tripping to Minnesota Part 2

Here's some more pictures as we travel across the mid part of the country on the way from South Carolina to Minnesota. We've not visited Minnesota since April, 2007. I'm looking forward to visiting my parents, seeing my sisters, brother-in-laws; friends; Joe from Ireland; playing a round of Disc Golf in Minnesota; going to the Minnesota Zoo; having my first Jucy Lucy and some RR time.

Later today we're going to the observation deck of the Willis Tower in Chicago. 1,350 feet above the city. Below are some pictures of the trip so far...

Heavy Money

For the past several months, maybe even more than a year, Kallsen and Parker have been putting all the loose change that Mommy and Daddy have at the end of each day in their 'Minnesota Bucket' for our up coming trip to visit Adam's family in Minnesota. Here's a picture of the boys posing with their money in a pumpkin.

The money weighed in at a hefty 23+ pounds...
