Day 16 – Reality sets in

Well its really happpened.  Ben forgot his bobble head guy.  We each got a Carlos Santana bobble head at the Cleveland Indians game.  Well I wasnt sure how I was gonna get mine home.  Now I am not sure how I am gonna get both of them home.  Take a nice long look.  This may be the last you see of the Carlos Santana bobble head guys.

Well after changing my flight arrangements I left Mall of America last night a round 7:30 pm.  I figured that I would miss the rush hour traffic around Minneapolis and still have time to make it thru Chicago.  I would basically be retracing our drive from Chicago on friday.  The one thing I know from that drive is that the construction around Chicago is really bad.  So I would prefer to go thru the construction around Chicago in the early morning rather then during the day.  So I am looking at more than 7 hours of drive time, but I know it will take up a big chunk of the overall drive time to toronto and also encapuslate the worst of the drive time but at the right hour of the day.  So after 8 1/2 hours of driving I roll into the Walmart in Paw Paw Michigan.  The biggest part of the drive to Toronto is done…goodnight…I landed in a walmart early this morning and i just moved down the freeway 2 hours to another walmart and spent the night there.  I think I am recovering from the huge drive from minneapollis past chicago.  Tomorrow I will get over the border.

    Oh no! Can you mail them home? Probably that would cost more than they’re worth? But OH THE MEMORIES!

        The Carlos Santana bobbleheads are going for fifteen bucks on ebay! But I think you’re right, Laraine, they just SCREAM White Elephant. We’ll just have to wait until Christmas to see if Marty is able to get them home. 🙂
