Did some Big things popping today!
We tried to transfer the motorcycle and get plates for it...needed to have vin numbers so we will try again tomorrow:(
isted the Pointe view winery and tasted many samples before purchasing three bottles...my favorite was the rhubarb strawberry and the reisling. We had lunch at A&W coney dogs and rootbeer floats.
Shaun showed us his favorite hobby store where you can spend zillions on your rc car.
spent a lot of time and money at walmart. $74. for the battery and then 5 quarts of oil and filter to change the oil. I did however find my North Dakota hoodie for only 22$
We are not yet sure where we are heading for when we leave here. Yellowstone seems just to far.
Maybe we will simply head south to Montana and see some things there before heading for home.
Let me know if you have some trip ideas the only criteria is that it should be under 6 hours of driving.
I know its going to be sad to leave here but Colie and Shaun our hoping to head home for July 4th so that will be nice.

We took off on a great adventure...This is one of my favorite new songs by Steven Curtis Chapman. Funny thing is that is just what we did,we are on a great adventure. As we celebrate a bit early our 35th wedding anniversary (June 25), we are traveling on a road trip vacation.
The trip started Saturday June 16th, at 5:00 am. with only 4 or so stops we drove over 450 miles in 9 hours. We rolled into Burlington,North Dakota, which is only a hop, skip or jump away from Minot.
Our first night was pretty fun, even though we were a couple of tired ol pups, Our son Shaun and his girl friend along with several of their friends and friends families threw us an awesome Luua. The food was delicious and we played polish golf and batmitten till bout 9 pm when we could not fight the tiredness anymore.
Yesterday we traveled through Minot with Shaun and Colie. There's a huge mall here and we took it all in. Al found a great pair of sandals at payless shoes which Shaun bought for him for fathers day. We went to several thrift stores and played games at an arcade. Together we managed to earn 300 points and purchased a pair of black fuzzy dice for Shaun...I figure those dang dice costed us 11.00$
For dinner we went to Grizzly's where Al and I split a prime rib dinner. We ordered the smore party too which was so fun! you get all the fixings for 6 smores plus carmel and chocolate sauce. They bring a little pot of fire to your table with all the fixings on a tray, and you cook your smores right at the table. It was only 5$ too. We stayed up late with a campfire that was fun too.
Today we are going to the water park...how fun will that be? I have to find a hoodie too one that has North Dakota on it. ...more to come.
