We were back on the road again by 1000 and had another long day of driving. There is very little to see and even less places to stop for food or restroom needs. Finally stopped for a bite to eat around 3 pm at the Dakota Diner. The food wasn't too bad. Jeff was going to try a local favorite~meat patty deep fried inside of dough. Unfortunately, when he cut into it lots of grease came running out. He sent it back and got a bison burger instead.
We reached Bismarck right around 6 pm and checked into our Comfort Inn Hotel. It is nice enough and we have a room that opens to the pool. We hope to rise early tomorrow and swim a little before our departure. Anyway, we met up with our friends the Thompson's who we first met in Georgia at Faith Lutheran Church. They used to babysit for our kids. Now they have six of their own! Matt T. went to seminary a year before we did, and we maintained our friendship there too. Now 10 years later, we reestablished our connections through Facebook. It was so nice to see them and meet their children, including toddler twin girls. We had good conversation with lots of laughs! We had a delightful time together. Glad we are friends!
On the way home, we saw a Papa John's and stopped and ordered a pizza and breadsticks. It was fun to have a late night snack together. Now we are all tired and ready for sleep. Tomorrow will come early for the swimmers and we want to get to Mark's in the afternoon. Next entry probably won't be for a few more days.
Good Night!
Grace
