Space Aliens!

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.
