Yeah, we made it to Minnesota! We made really good time also. It took us about 17 hours, not too bad! Of course, we did have a few bumps along the way. First of all Stephen got a speeding ticket. It wasn't for too much money because the owner of the car had a stick that says she supports highway patrols.
Secondly, when it was my turn to drive it started to snow. We were in North Dakota and about one in the morning, so pretty dark. At first the snow wasn't sticking so it wasn't that big of a deal. Well then it start sticking. I got nervous cause it was pitch black out, and snowing. Luckily I had a semi in front of me. I just followed him because I could hardly see the road. Later, when it stopped snowing I passed the semi. As I pulled back into the right hand lane the car went crazy. It started spinning in circles, to the right and then to the left. When we stopped we were facing the semi we had just passed. But luckily we turned again and faced the right direction and I continued to drive. It was pretty scary but I know we were blessed because we should have run off the side of the road or something.
After that I drove for a bit longer, but then pulled to the side of the road and had someone else drive. The rest of the drive was thankfully uneventful.

17 hours is not bad at all. I think we will try to do most of our driving during day light!
