Minnesota to Kentucky in One Day
Can it be done? Can one person drive straight through from Minnesota to Bowling Green, Kentucky in one day? It's nearly a 12-hour drive without any hiccups. That's a long drive. But I did it!

Escape to the Windy City for the Weekend
The Chicago area is one of our favorite destinations. It's only 5 hours from home and full of museums, zoos, attractions and more. It's the perfect change of scenery for the weekend. On our most recent trip, we stayed in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. It's just a short drive outside of Chicago, however, it's centrally located to the attractions and tollway making it the perfect choice for this trip. Our hotel of choice was the Country Inn and Suites in Elk Grove Village. Not only is it ...
