Road Trippin': Day 3

Today was my last full day helping the store before their Grand Opening tomorrow!!

Wow, what a DAY! I am so tired and sore from trying to get everything accomplished today so they could have a smooth opening tomorrow! Yeowza!

It was a bittersweet feeling, leaving the store tonight, for the last time, before they open. Maybe ever, it is hard to know if life will ever lead me back to Williamsburg, Iowa ever again!

Here is the long-awaited picture of my hotel...

As you can see by the sign, the Best Western and the Super 8 are one...the far left part of the building (white) is my hotel - Super 8, and the light blue part on the right is the Best Western. You had to see it for yourself.

Also, I just noticed this today, but at the outlet mall we are in - Tanger Center, there is a McDonald's right before you enter the Outlet Mall grounds. On the back of the McDonald's sign that is high in the air, it says this on the back side, facing the center of the outlet mall parking lot:

Oh yeah, that DOES say McSTOP (I found out later that it is because it is also a truck stop in the back of the McDonald's! Too funny. I love this little town! So many funny things!!

Oh, and I did find a SUPER cute and SUPER cheap new handbag at the Wilson's Leather Outlet...so, that was a very nice find for me!! whoop whoop!

Alright, I am going to finally jump in the shower, cozy up with my book and then get some much needed rest!

Back to MN in the mornin' aww shucks, just when I was starting to feel "southern" too! HA!

*Update*
So, I had forgotten to mention that while I had been driving down to Iowa, I had been keeping track of the different license plate states that I encountered. I did not use semi truck's plates, because, I figured that was cheating. So, here is my list of "states I saw" while on the road:

Minnesota (duh)
Iowa (duh again)
Nebraska
Wisconsin
Colorado
Texas
Michigan
Illinois
Missouri
New Hampshire
California
Flordia

12 states...not too shabby!
