View of the day-Al and Jeff found a bench along the Mississippi but didn't get to see any water traffic.
Our last day at the toy show, we had breakfast...sort of...at the hotel. We had to work around several 10-12 yr olds that had the waffle iron doing overtime, so after a bagel and muffin we got our rooms packed up and checked out.We decided to check the river out in the daylight and because it was a lot colder than when we had first arrived, the stop was a quick one.
We hooked the trailer up back at the hotel then headed for Dyersville to pick up the last few "need-its" on the list, and to get some pictures of the miniature display of the winter scene, which is included as a slide show to do it some sort of justice. The detail is amazing.
We were on the move back to Pingree just after lunch. The trip back was uneventful, with Jeff and Al taking turns driving while Marilyn gave directions with the new mapping software on the laptop. We made it through Minneapolis without a problem this time...except for the fact that we were smack in the middle of the Vikings traffic that was exiting the city after the football game...what a joy that was. We stopped for supper at Fergus Falls and made pretty good time getting back to Pingree by around 10:30pm.
Jeff stopped at Mikes to get his load of toys that had been delivered there and once Al had what he needed removed from the trailer, Jeff forged on to Minot while we got caught up on the goings on while we were away. There was quite a lot of snow and ice on the ground and the temperature was mighty chilly.
Looks like the insulated jeans come out tomorrow...
