| At the hotel with grandma Robin. Grandma suggested that we meet at the Mall of America after Christmas. I drove up to Chicago first and stayed the night at my cousin's house and then we left the next morning for Minneapolis. With stops for lunch and dinner it's about 13 hours to Minneapolis from Louisville. |
Grandma took the girls swimming at the hotel pool every night and they loved that. Lela practiced swimming without her water wings.

Taking a break at McDonald's on the drive up to Minneapolis. Stuart made a bee-line for Ronald. The weather was cold, but clear and the kids were great travelers so that was nice for mommy!
