Moving - Day 4 (almost there....)

Well, we're finally in our new state, although not the whole way across to our new home. We left Minneapolis this morning and came into North Dakota mid-afternoon. There was some rain along the way, so we stopped in Fargo for the night.

Minneapolis is a pretty large city. We were surprised at how spread out it is. One could easily spend a week (or more) finding what there is to find. Since I'll have to fly through Minneapolis, perhaps I'll get the opportunity to discover more over time.

Minnesota really is the state of 10,000 lakes. Of course, it was difficult to tell if all the water that we saw laying in pools were really "lakes" or just seasonal ponds as a result of recent rains. On one of the lakes, we saw several snowy Egrets, and saw other water fowl flying here-and-there.

Our cat tried to "escape" when we arrived at our hotel for the night. We had put him in the hotel room, and went to the car to bring up a few things. When I opened the door to the room, he ran quickly out the door and down the hallway. Fortunately, he stopped after going about 50 feet. He's a large cat, and very fast. If he really wanted to run away, we wouldn't be able to stop him (but we assume he would eventually return). I guess he's tired of spending all that time in the car (as are we).

Well, we should arrive at our new home tomorrow.  Then, it's unpacking and figuring out how to fit everything in the new house. Stay tuned...
