CJ & Autumn Miller

Today we said our goodbyes to the Millers and continued our trek to Alaska. We left early to provide time for a visit with Jeremiah, Christy's boyfriend, in Wheaton, IL. CJ drove our UHaul contraption to Jeremiah's house & we walked around town with Teco & ate outdoors at a sandwich shop. It was our first time to meet Jeremiah seeing as Christy started dating him in Bulgaria. We enjoyed our time with him very much & gave him an open invitation to visit in AK.
Midway through our trip in Wisconsin we got hit by a large wild turkey. Yes, it flew right into my passenger side window & scared us to death. We thought for sure there would be turkey & dressing all over the bikes & kayak in the back, but there wasn't. It caused no damage, so praise the Lord!
Monday night we stayed at Comfort Inn in Minneapolis, MN. I saw the Twins stadium from afar & was all excited about the Mall of America. CJ wasn't as excited about a giant mall, so we went to Caribou coffee instead. It was probably a better choice considering we are trying to consolidate. Back at the hotel we celebrated the day's end with fancy crackers & fresh Wisconsin apple garlic cheese.
Total Driving Time: 10.5 hours
