Devils Lake State Park, WI to Minneapolis, MN
We awoke early to the annoying chirp of birds in our camp, packed the car quickly and took a walk around the park.
It is clearly a popular place that was busy during a beautiful weekend. Tara and I kept marveling that we were in Wisconsin and actually on this road trip. We climbed into the car and started the drive with two stops in mind; a post office for more postcard stamps and to an auto repair place for an oil change and to replace the driver side back blinker. Turns out WalMart came to the rescue again on our trip, changing the oil and the light for a surprisingly low price. One thing that struck us about Wisconsin were the incredible rock formations everywhere created by the receding glaciers tens of thousands of years ago. They even have a state wide hiking trail called the Ice Age Trail that might need to be revisited at some point in the future.
We reached our Doubletree Hotel in Minneapolis and I immediately left our only room key in the room. After getting a second key we headed off to the mecca of consumerism; The Mall of America.
We covered about half of the mall, marveled at the Lego Imagination Center (they have a 5' Boba Fett),
and decided to enjoy the all you can eat salad bar at Ruby Tuesdays. Then we convulsed through "The Hangover." Tara woke up this morning still laughing about the punch Mike Tyson laid on Alan.
