I wasn't able to get any sleep because I was excited about taking off on this trip out west to see the eclipse. I have been waiting many years for this and it is finally here! My mom was kind enough to give me a ride to the car rental place. I had to wait a while as they weren't expectying me until noon and my vehicle wasn't ready. While I was there waiting, about half the people there were also picking up for the eclipse. One guy was going to Tennessee, another was going to Kentucky. The lady at the counter asked where I was going for her records and I told her that it depends on the weather.
"Okay, from Indiana to the eclipse."
I went back home, loaded up the SUV with the equipment and left to pick up Gibran. Before leaving, Gibran and I went to Walmart for some more last minute supplies: snacks. There was one last stop at Kraig's so I could borrow his 5 gallon gas tank. (Always be prepared!)
Our trip took us to I-94 up to Chicago, Milwaukee, and then to Madison after which we switched to I-90 to La Crosse and Sioux Falls and into South Dakota.
It was getting dark when we crossed the Mississippi River in Minnesota. By the time we were getting to Sioux Falls, I was needed to start stopping to take naps. We were getting there, though, and the morning would bring a sight seeing adventure-especially for Gibran.
