After spending the weekend in the Detroit area with friends (the wedding was wonderful!) and family (catching up, boating on the lake, talking about Mustangs), we are back on the road. T and I decided to continue on our original northern route and, so far, we're still on track after day one. We drove from Eastern Michigan to Madison, Wisconsin today (through northern Indiana and Chicago). Luckily we found a hotel - apparently there is some sort of dairy conference in Madison this week. T overheard one guy talking about a cow recently that sold for $1M. We're not in Boston anymore.
Tonight we had dinner near UW Madison at State Street Brats -- tried the Wisconsin favorite, cheese curds (similar to mozz cheese sticks, but in nuggets), had some local beers (SO good), and red brats with sauerkraut -- such a great college town -- we love it!
Tomorrow we will cross Minnesota and head into South Dakota. We have our work cut out for us!

Sounds like a lot of fun! I assume you're hitting Mt. Rushmore-- are you going to try to make it to Yellowstone?
In any event, you'll be glad to hear that the weather in Phoenix is "cooling down" for your arrival and the highs should only be in the mid-90's by the weekend.
A great college town is no joke! I have lots of great fun memories at UW. You might rent North by Northwest (Cary Grant)--a great Hitchcock movie--last great scenes at Mt Rushmore.
Give Allison a hug for us when you hit Colorado--future ski trips?? Two more large boxes arrived for you today.
Cheese curds sound pretty gross out of context but I'm the biggest Mazzorella stix guy around so I'd eat many of them.
Apple the red cow was indeed sold for $1mil in Litchfield, CT of all places.

Good luck driving through the land of absolutely GIGANTIC states that is the northen US. You definitely aren't in MA anymore.
Cheese curds. That brings back a lot of childhood memories from summers in WI. Gosh, those are good. I miss them.
Z asked if he could go to Kissy's house yesterday. I think my excitement is starting to rub off on the kiddo.
