Day one: Up at 5:00AM, leave Des Moines at 7:00AM, drive 3.5 hours to Winona “Mini-sota” for the Mini Cooper East Meets West Car Rally ….. The Mini is mine (front car in picture: British racing-green with white top and white wheels)..... BUT the love of car events is Greg’s. We will spend the next 3 days here.
I got off to a bad start with food. Lunch provided was hamburger or hot dog, I choose poorly. I ate hot dog, large quantity of potato salad, potato chips, watermelon, and a big brownie. I felt terrible the rest of the day. I know better, so this tired-terrible feeling was a lesson to eat right for the next 13 days of our vacation. Oh, and there was a cupcake in the evening to celebrate the Mini’s 50th anniversary at the free concert. It was a fun group which played music from the British 60’s invasion.
Day one had car show, and group panoramic picture and evening concert. Day two had motor cross racing and “funkahna”- which was a miniature “Italian Job” obstacle course of sorts and an evening cruise in at a local drive-in diner. Day three has a road Rally- a fun drive through the gorgeous countryside along the Mississippi river, ending with an evening Banquet.

The weather surprised us a bit.... it was only in the 60's, overcast skies with a cool breeze. It felt like October. I guess that was better than the hot and humid weather we have experienced last week.
I love your vacation and the two of you.
