The Road to MN - Day One

Chris and I spent the morning finalizing the cleaning, packing and painting at the house. We finished up at around noon. After getting the two cars organized and packed we said our goodbyes to our good friends the Herbst’s. We spent our last two nights in California staying with them. Rick and Donna and Ann and Shelly adopted us as surrogate family when we moved into the neighborhood back in 2000. I can’t thank them enough for all the love and support they have given us over the years. Alex will be staying with Rick and Donna for the next two weeks, hanging out with his best friend Nick. After Nick’s last performance in Grease, Nick and Alex will be flying to Minneapolis so that Nick can visit us for a week.

We finally got on the road around 2:30 pm, with our first nights goal of making it to the Bay Area and our hotel in Berkeley. The drive north was un eventful and we rolled into town at about 8:30pm. The Holiday Inn Express was a great little hotel, close to the freeway and of course as yummy continental breakfast included.
