We rolled into Ohio Wednesday morning.
All in all a great trip!  We drove through lots of rain.


We did hit Mall of America as we drove through Minneapolis.  I was somewhat surprised.  Not as crowded and chaotic as I expected.  The boys thought the indoor amusement park was cool and loved the Lego store.  Not sure how they did the acoustics of the building, but was amazed that you did not really get much noise from the amusement park.  Once you figured out the layout, it was pretty easy to maneuver. 

One of our other stops along the way was 2 nights in Bismarck - where we met up with two of my friends.  We spent one day exploring the parks there.  We came across a great climbing tree and a fun little amusement park. 

Some pictures......

It started dumping rain...but it did not deter the boys for long.
