We have arrived. We got an early start again today as the weather forecast indicated there could be freezing rain and we wanted to stop for a good ole Amana breakfast. The breakfast was excellent, they have such good bacon (and everything else).
We got on the road about 7:30, roads were dry and traveling was good. After getting into MN, I noticed on my phone weather map that freezing rain was occurring were we had just been in Iowa. We got to our hotel "Staybridge Suites" about noon and were told we could not check in until after 2 PM, our room wasn't ready. So we sat at McDonald's for awhile and then went to Menards. Don had forgotten something and went back to the car, I went on inside. I must had tripped because the first thing I remember was my face heading to the floor. Some people came to help, but I couldn't get one leg out from under me, finally Don came and knew just what needed to be done. I hit my head and as time goes on hurt more and more places. I bruise easily and don't even want to know how bruised I am.
When we got back to the hotel we were able to get our room, only it was not the room I had reserved. I had paid a little more to get a suite and this room was just - a room. They must have thought we were born yesterday, but relented and gave us the suit. Much to our surprise, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday they have free food, tonight it was make your own subways. The also had salad, chips and coke. We did not feel like going out in the cold so this worked fine. We also picked up free a local newspaper and USA Today paper.
We just can't seem to get warm, keep turning up the heat. Worst thing, it is getting colder out each day,
