By this point, Mojo and Luxx are old pros at travel and hotels. They pretty much have it down to a routine:
Step 1: Check out the bed
Step 2: Chew on Luxx
Step 3: Commence Wrestlemania XII!!
Day two is our long leg, we hit the road before dawn. We just happen to drive through the most rain I have ever SEEN in my life! It rained from the second we left Ohio, through Indiana, Illinois (drove through flooded streets in Chicago), Wisconsin, and then the sun peeks out in MINNESOTA!!
It really was such a relief, after being soaked to the skin more than once trying to get "we don't DO rain" dogs to go potty at the rest stops and just generally losing hours of progress due to the weather.
We finally arrived around 7pm in Worthington, MN.
They have a PERKINS!! Guess where we had dinner that night??
But not before the dogs were exercised and fed of course! Mojo would never let me forget he was in the car...
And believe me, that isn't a bark. It's a prolonged, heart-wrenching wail that only a boy dobe cane really perfect. :)
Ahhh, a hotel room. I think they know what to do here... Bed? CHECK!
Chew on the sister? CHECK!
Uhhhh.... Double CHECK!
Aaaaand let's get ready to RUUUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!
Sunday dawns moderately dry, at least it's not POURING! We make the last part of the trek through South Dakota (my favorite state, though not to drive through...) to Gillette, WY! Hey, I remember this bull:
South Dakota has loverly rest stops. Mojo and Luxx thought it might be nice to get a photo with the huge sky factor:
NEAR................far
"Mommy, can you PLEASE stop taking pictures now? I gotta go pee...."
To be continued...
