We made it to Indianapolis! We decided after checking out of the hotel in Chicago the weather seemed too bad to delay getting to Indianapolis. Normally I think it takes just over 3 hours but not today! We left just after 1pm and didn't get here until 6:30. We had a really long detour not one that was posted but after we sat for 30 minutes on the interstate we decided to get off and drive around. Apparently the semi trucks couldn't get up some of the steeper hills and the closed down the road for a bit. We also had to get off one exit early because they closed that exit due to a salt truck/police cruiser accident. We ended up following a driver who was going 20 mph with more than a half a dozen cars trailing behind. I didn't think the roads were that bad but maybe it's because I'm use to driving on Minnesota roads. Once we got into our room I ran to  Walmart the store that must not be named for a few essentials. Unfortunately the pool that we were expecting turns out to be outside.

My sister(the one who lives here) called to say that my mom and my other sister made it in from the airport. We'll go meet up with them tomorrow.

My son is starting to drive me C-R-A-Z-Y!!!

Cross your fingers the weather is good on Sunday as we drive back up!

We left MN around 8am and drove non-stop (except for lunch at the Norsk Nook in Osseo, WI) and made Chicago slightly after 7pm. The last 50 miles was almost literally stop and go traffic. Thankfully P drove that part and I mostly listened to Alice Sebold "The Almost Moon" I think I'm half way through. It probably wasn't the best choice for today's drive, a little too dark.

2 years ago during the summer, the four of us P, her son R(yeah the one that's gone) my son and me went to Wisconsin Dells. Driving by there was really hard for me, thankfully P and A were sleeping so they didn't see me bawling. I had to stop crying because the roads weren't that great and I had some precious cargo.

I did think a lot about [livejournal.com profile] cluelessinchi  as we've been here so far....
