We took a trip to FARgo yesterday....it doesn't matter what the season or how many toys we carry on the trip, this is still by far, hands down, without any doubt the most boring one hour drive we have EVER driven. We have pretty much driven from coast to coast and from one end to the next and all over several small countries...but the drive from Grand Forks to Fargo still beats out all the other miles for most boring. There is absolutely NOTHING between here and there but fields...no gas station for miles and miles either so we always have to take along a potty bottle for Jared...its going to get really interesting when Jaiden is completely out of diapers.
Once we finally got to Fargo we had a great time. We went to Thunder Road and played putt putt and road the go carts...this was Jaiden's first time and oh my heavens I would have given anything to have a photo of the smile that was on her face when I glanced over after that first lap! (She was riding with me - not driving her own car) She was LOVIN it! I wish we had a place like this in Grand Forks so we wouldn't have to drive so far...
After that we went to the mall...it was 5 and they closed at 6 so we only had 59 min to zip through it...but that is about all you need. Its pretty small.
Then we headed to OLIVE GARDEN for dinner. 30-45 min wait later we had a very delicioco meal. Jared scarfed down 3 bowls of salad! Then he ate most of his pizza too. I think he is going through a growth spurt...most of the ride to Fargo he was STARVING so we stopped right outside of Fargo and got him another pizza and some snacks.
Cody drove home and the wind pretty much pushed us home since it was straight lines right out of the south. It was a fun day had by all...just wish we didn't have so FAR to GO to get there.

Sounds like it was a really fun day trip!
Sounds like fun, even if it was a boring drive to get there. :-)
Oh there are worse drives, but they are all right here in ND ;) Between here and Devil's Lake, then Minot is pretty bad. Such a lovely state :) Fargo is worth the drive once in a while though. We usually go down early so we can make a day of it. Though if the mini-golf place opens in GF then there is one less thing we have to drive an hour for :)
you've obviously never done the trip from Houlton to Bangor in Maine. Sounds pretty similiar. LOL! ;) sounds like it was worth it though! glad you had fun! Olive Garden! YUM my favorite! my honey is cooking italian tonight, guess it's a good thing since you've got me thinking about OG! ;)
