We left Defiance Ohio at 8:20am. We had planned to leave at 6:00am; however, we decided to sleep in and take our time getting on the road. It worked out fine, we arrived back in Saint Michael at 6:05pm . With the time change it meant we were on the road, with breaks to change drivers and get fuel, for 11.25 hours.
We hit Chicago at the perfect
time and had reasonably light traffic. The traffic around St. Paul and
Minneapolis was also manageable.
Dinner was at Home Grown about
half a mile from our house. I had a Saint Michael Sangria with a steak sandwich
and salad for dinner. The Sangria was refreshing and thoroughly relaxed me enough to not feel the
road trip fatigue.
Alto was happy to see me, she
'allowed' me to pet her head and talk to her for at least fifteen minutes. Her
usual time limit is five minutes.
We enjoyed our trip and now we
are about to enjoy settling back into our home and having an early bedtime.
Tomorrow morning the ash tree
removal begins. The best part is they don't expect to start running the chipper
until 9:30 am. I am planning to sleep in!
