Back in Carman

We are back in Carman after our vacation and pleasantly surprised with the nice weather. Hopefully the cars will start. We didn't have internet access (too broke to buy it) the last night in Madison, so I will do both days in one post. We left Chattanooga early Friday and continued our tradition of trying to drive by sporting facilities as often as possible. Below is the Titan's stadium in Nashville. Just out of the picture on the left is the Gaylord Entertainment Center where the Predators play. I just like to say Gaylord.
We made good time and spent time laughing at the people going the other way in the picture below near Louisville. There was an accident which closed the whole interstate and caused an hour or two delay. Justice prevailed as we took about 2 1/2 hours to get through Chicago, when it should have taken 45 minutes. It's funny how that works.
We stopped in Madison again and stayed at the Red Roof Inn. We left early again Saturday, hoping to be home in good time. We stopped for lunch in Minneapolis at Culver's Butterburgers and had some of their delicious cheeseburgers. If this sounds like an endorsement, it is, as we all think they have the best burgers around. I highly recommend them if you are in Grand Forks or anywhere south of there.

Gus enjoyed his burger, but shortly after we had to make an unscheduled stop at a rest area. As you can see by the smile on his face, we made the stop just in time. After a quick shop in Grand Forks, we made it across the border in good time and were in Carman by 6:30.

This ends our trip and the blog. I hope you had as much fun reading it as we had bringing it to you. (Now that sounds corny)((Too much Disney))

Please check back occasionally as we will keep family and friends updated on the Gottfred Family Adventures as they happen along.
