Phoebe is visiting her family this week. We, of course, accompanied her. Here are the facts so far.
- Third shift is a great time to drive! We left Sewanee at 11:16 pm Thursday and arrived in Waukesha at 11:34 am Friday. That's with a total of nearly two hours of stops for attending Phoebe and fueling the car.
- Change your air filter! We got an extra 3 mpg on our trip thanks to that. Total mpg this trip: 46. Thank you Volkswagen's TDI engine.
- It's a small world. I met a colleague in a random southern-Indiana Waffle House at 3:30 in the morning. She was taking a french foreign exchange student to see the sights in Chicago. Weird.
- Wisconsin is King of the Custard Stand. We've been to Kopp's and Culver's in less than a week. If you don't know what I'm talking about than you have NO IDEA what you're missing. This is just proof that God loves Wisconsin.
- Food poisoning sucks! I've been messed up since Sunday night. Under doctor's orders, I received 2 litres of saline on Monday afternoon to keep me from dehydrating. I only just started eating real food again today (Wednesday) and I'm still a bit queasy.
- Family is amazing. I have had a wonderful time, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I don't want to go back and not just because I start teaching next week.

Hell yea WI! You don't realize how much of a cheesehead you are until you hit your home turf. Can't wait to see you again bro.
Oh, goodness yes. I went back the second week of July and my first stop was Culvers. On my way back to MN, we stopped in Milwaukee for Kopps. If I'd had time I would have tried to hit Leon's and Oscar's as well.
Our closest Culver's is 15 minutes away. Travesty!!
Hope your little one is as good a roadtripper as mine was. Good luck this coming school year!
