Day 10: Milwaukee, WI...finally!

We woke up with leisurely plans to drive a short day and camp outside of Madison, WI at Devil's Lake, then the next day visit friends who just had a baby who live in Madison, before a short hop over to Milwaukee. That all came crashing down when we hear a little voice from the tent as we cooked breakfast, "I peed in my sleeping bag!", following by crying.

We have been putting her in diapers at night for this exact reason, as to avoid an accident in the sleeping bag, so I thought maybe she wet her diaper and woke up out of a dead sleep thinking she had peed through. Opening the tent door however, we realized that somehow, she had indeed peed through her diaper, through her pajamas and there was basically a puddle in the sleeping bag. Sorry for the the TMI. Clothes were quickly stripped off and the puddle and sleeping bag contained in a trash bag. That sealed the deal. We were going to make the 8+ hour drive straight through to Milwaukee.
We packed up our gear and hit the road. It was a mostly uneventful drive, lots of construction. We crossed the Mississippi River! Southern Minnesota was really boring. When we crossed into Wisconsin it was much more picturesque. Paul and I were talking back and forth on our radios as he told me things he remembered here and there as we were driving. Wisconsin has the red barn and rolling hills thing down pretty good. We arrived to Paul's Grandma's house in Mequon with little fanfare and stayed for dinner with her before heading down to his Mom's house where we were going to stay for the week.

Consequently, no photos from this day except for a car photo.
