According to Google Maps, it should have taken me just under 24 hours to drive the roughly 1700 miles from Seattle to Northfield (I-90 and its I-94 alternate are almost exactly the same). But I didn't use Google Maps.
Instead, I arrived in Northfield late in the afternoon of my 8th day, having driven 3600 miles. That just seems to be the way I do things.
I had pizza with D that evening. The next day I did a laundry, changed the oil, shipped some stuff home (making room in the car for more of his stuff), and took the rocket box off the car so I could park at the airport. Then D and I headed up to MSP to pick up M and her mom.
Friday was gorgeous. We walked around campus and along the river in town, much as we have many times in the last 4 years. We met a bunch of D's friends and even some of his profs. We kept our fingers crossed that the weather would be just as nice for the next day's graduation ceremonies!
