Today's travel day is brought to you by Canada, Le Peep, and Snow.
Corey, the former resident director of the tour, joined me (rather suddenly) on today's 10 hour travel adventure from Grand Rapids, MI to Minneapolis, MN. Having a travel companion is always nice! After a brisk, early start to the day, I decided to feed Corey's obsession with college campuses and took a small detour from I-94. Note the picture on the left. That's right, I ended up back in Evanston, IL for a quick lunch at Le Peep, after of course driving Corey all around Northwestern, bragging the whole time about how much I love the place.
After our brief stop, we continued up through Wisconsin. And a good 5 hours of the drive is up through the sprawling farmland of western Wisconsin. Sounds boring? Wrong. Check out the pic below. It was like driving through a perfect winter wonderland. It made that part of the drive spectacular.
Confused as to why Canada is involved? Well, Corey is Canadian. And apparently most of western Wisconsin reminds him of Canada. Maybe it's the snow?
Anyway, here's to two wonderful, freezing cold weeks in Minneapolis. You thought Chicago was cold? It's only December here and it feels like the dead of winter already. Thank goodness there's a mall nearby. Oh I'm sorry, thank goodness America's largest mall is nearby, just in time for Christmas.
so jealous you got to have LePeep. But I can't complain cause we got a home cooked meal!
