Minnesota miles…

We made it to the Minneapolis area just fine and uneventfully which makes us very thankful. We have spent the last two days driving all over the northern highways surrounding the city. We have seen so many houses, but so far, our search continues. Today we’ll be driving to Wisconsin to look at some houses, one of which is in the country and seems to have promise. I say “seems” because if there’s one thing we’ve learned is that you just can’t trust a picture. The picture sometimes looks like the way the house was about 30 years, and that many winters ago also! So, what I’m saying is that we are just reserving judgment until we physically tour the home.

I will say that we have enjoyed seeing the countryside and being able to spend time together as a family. The van that we have for the week is racking up some miles. In three days of driving from Kansas City, and also milling around the last two days in Minnesota we’ve put about 1,600 miles on the van. We have today and tomorrow to continue to look for a place, so the clock is ticking… Take care.
