Day 6, Sunday

We ate our free continental breakfast and headed for Lambeau Field...just had to see it before it we left Green Bay...it was really cool.

The last big city we drove through was Minneapolis & I did some major sweet talking to get Mike to stop at the Mall of America....but I didn't want to shop, I just wanted to ride the indoor roller coasters! Apparently the mall had changed quite a bit since Mike had been there 9 years ago, it is now a huge indoor amusement park fully equipped with Nickalodeon mascots and all! So we ran quickly past those monsters and got on the first roller coaster we saw.....then rode one more and then hit the road! I am sooooo glad we stopped....I love coasters!

But even cooler was our next sight - the world's largest ball of twine (made by one man)! This sight was in Darwin, MN - basically in the middle of no where!! But it was priceless to see the look on Mike's face when he saw that twine...so elated!

As night time was approaching we had to find a campground....about 10 miles from the twine was a small town called Lake Cokato....we stayed at their "resort" campground. We quickly found out it was called a resort because most everyone staying there, lived there. We're talking RV's with built on decks and landscaping and lawn ornaments! It was crazy....another crazy thing were the mosquitoes! I have never seen blood sucking insects this big before! The swarmed us the entire time we put up the tent. This was also the only hot night we had camping, but for me it felt great!

So showers in the morning (very scary shower houses at this place) and off to Mt. Rushmore!
