In Fargo, North Dakota......eh yeah

Hi there everyone from Fargo North Dakota.  No blog last night because we took another down day yesterday in Minot.  Today's drive was only about 4 hours to Fargo but we stopped because it looked real stormy and we decided to get a room and just look around Fargo for a while.

We haven't taken any pictures today and since we didn't go out of our room yesterday, none then either.

Fargo is right exactly on the border of North Dakota and Minnesota.  We plan to go into Minnesota tomorrow.

Note to Pat:  We may be going to Lake City tomorrow.  Wayne looked it up and it's about 5 hours from here.  We'll get some pictures for you to see tomorrow night if we get there.

We are way ahead of schedule for Sioux Falls, we aren't due there until Saturday.
Wayne is feeling the magnet pull of seeing Nicole and he wants to keep within a few hours of Sioux Falls.

On our way here today, we stopped in a cute little town called Harvey.  We drove around Harvey for a while and it was really cute.  There was a police officer driving a pick up with the license plate "police" so Wayne asked her where to find a good place to eat.  She gave us a couple choices and away we went.

It was strange seeing such a little town even having a police department but we know they have at least one officer and she was very friendly.

These small little towns in eastern North Dakota are priceless.  Things look like they haven't changed for dozens of years.

There were miles and miles and miles of sunflower fields along the highway today.  I think they were left to go to seed because they looked almost dead but there were miles of them on both sides of the road.

Note to Richard and Lisa:  We stayed at the Fairfield Inn in Minot for two nights at $49 each night......THANKS again !!!

Dinner at Applebee's tonight introduced us to the cutest little waitress named RUNEA.....pronounced Re nay  or Rene.   I gave her one of my cards and told her she could have 50% off if she found something she liked on my website.  She was real interested in our trip, where we were going, etc.  Very nice young lady.

We have been travelling on smaller state highways instead of the impersonal interstate freeways.  It is just so much nicer on the smaller roads.  You see so much more and meet such nice people.  It is the preferred way to travel in the Stevenson Family!

Note to Self:  No more riblets at Applebee's, delicious but too hard and messy to eat.

Note to Cameron and Sergio:  We both signed up as followers on your blog and marked it on our favorites.  We are looking forward to your posts!!  We are excited about your trip to NY and DC and hope you have a great great time!!

We are in the central time zone now so we are two hours ahead of home.  

I cannot tell you how much fun we are having.  We are happy to be together each day and seeing new things and meeting new people.  It's an amazing way to take a vacation and I totally recommend it for everyone.  I wish you could all be here with us.  You get such a great view of life in this way.  It's so powerful when you see new things and see how others live.

Update on our License plate game:   We  only need 12 more to have all 50 states.  We still need  Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and West Virginia.  All the rest we've seen.

That's about it for today.  Tomorrow we will be in Minnesota and  will post again tomorrow night.

Love to you all
Wayne and Colleen
