It's all in the timing...

Wahooo - road trip w/mom to Chicago/MN for my sis's 50th b'day (she doesn't know we're coming!). Taking Megabus to Chicago, meeting up with my brother, day in Chi-town before the 9+ hour drive to Nisswa - Up North as they say in Minnesota. This will be my first time on Megabus and we only made the reservations 2 days in advance so missed out on the $1 seats but $78 round trip is cheaper than gas money/parking. Amazing how many errands/to-dos I'm getting done around the house when there's a trip on the horizon!
