Fortunately, we have arrived in Chicago. We've driven approximately 900 miles from Morden, Manitoba to Chicago, Illinois over the past two days.
Arriving in Chicago more or less concludes the driving portion of our trip, which means that there is no more of this to look forward to:
Some of the stops along the way of our road trip include:
Bemidji, Minnesota, the "Hometown of Paul Bunyan"
The pinnacle of American Capitalism, The Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is the largest mall in the U.S. at 4.2 million square feet. It currently contains 520 stores, with future expansions planned that will increase it to 900 stores. Over 20,000 parking spaces allow for plenty of guests to fill the stores and the amusement park located in the middle of the mall.
And of course, no road trip through the midwest would be complete without a stop in the cheese country that is Wisconsin. Quick Fact: Wisconsin leads the U.S. in cheese production, and is second only to California in the production of milk and butter.
Cheese Grommit!
Thats all for now...pictures from Chicago coming soon. Our time in the U.S. is limited now, so you want to call/text any of us, do it before Monday afternoon.

Love the facts! Have fun in Chicago. Eat some pizza for me.
Miss you already.
Minneapolis is amazing! I went there two years ago for a wedding. My cousin and I could the Mall of America and Ikea from our hotel window! It was so much fun! Thanks for the update!
