Supper was at McDonalds in Minot, ND. It was getting a little late and we still hadn't bought any groceries so we caved. Jenn was probably the least enthused about going to McDonalds but also the most intrigued, after all she works at one here. She was definitely going to check things out, like their menu, dollar menu (which she had heard about when some Americans came in to "her" McDonalds), their uniforms and the decor. The decor was actually really cool in there. Yeah, I know, it was only a McDonalds but, they had all sorts of Scandivian (I think Swedish) antiques, pictures, stories etc. They also had a plasma tv mounted on the wall; we watched the news. What a great channel to be on when going to a restaurant geared towards young children but anyway.
Bill and Savannah had a sandwich called the Ranch BLT. I had a taste and it was really good. I wished I had gotten that one. It was now 5:30 PM our time, 6:30 PM in North Dakota. Cherish did not really grasp that concept at first and finally got it or just accepted it.
We watched our first movie of the trip once we were on the road again. What was their movie of choice? "Are We There Yet?" Funny movie. Appropriate title. Actually, the kids had, thus far, been doing phenomenally. We thought Aren, especially, would have been cranky and not enjoying the ride but he was so well behaved. Hallie's earlier question of "Are we in Kansas City yet?' was only asked the once...in Melfort.
We reached the halfway point at about 10 Pm (that is 11 pm their time) and set up camp in a Stamart in Grand Forks, ND. All the campsites were closed by the time we were pulling into town. So, we all used the facilities and went to set up camp along with the truck drivers.
