A local chain restaurant. Being a sci-fi fan and dork, I totally dug this place.

North Dakota
September 7, 2011. Day 7 of roadtrip.
We crossed into North Dakota. Rest of the drive in Minnesota was beautiful - truly a state of 10,000 lakes. We saw so many while driving.
In North Dakota, off I-94, we stopped to see the world's largest buffalo (a statue of course, not a real one, although we did see real buffalo in the field near the statue). This wad in Jamestown, ND, also known for where Louis L'Amour is from - a western author.
Very odd driving through and being in such a rural area. Fresh crisp air. It's a nice change of pace.
Minnesota- September 6, 2011
Day 6 of roadtrip:
we went to the Mall of America near Minneapolis and rode a couple roller coasters at Nickelodeon Universe inside the mall.
Lake Geneva- September 5, 2011
Near where we stayed in Wisconsin. Beautiful lake. And the people were extremely friendly.
PJ20 at Alpine Valley
The Pearl Jam 20th anniversary festival took place at the legendary Alpine Valley outdoor amphitheater in East Troy, Wisconsin.
Here are some photos. It was a two-day festival, but most of the photos are from the 2nd day because the first day was rainy.
the shows were my 50th and 51st Pearl Jam shows and they were completely amazing. I couldn't have asked for more. For me, it was not only celebrating their 20 years, but also my 16 years of being a fan. Their music has meant a lot to me and has helped me a lot over the years.

Roadtrip: Delaware to Seattle
The first stop on my road trip from Delaware to Seattle was Wisconsin for Pearl Jam's 20th anniversary festival in East Troy, Wisconsin.
PJ20!
