Day 4 - September 6th, 2010 Chesterfield, MO-St. Paul, MN

We got an early start this morning beating the breakfast bar staff to their post, so we grab some food for the road. The spoiled cats fuss about leaving the luxury of our hotel suite that we've had for the past two nights, but it's time to saddle up for a long haul to the Twin Cities. The cats settle down pretty quickly after their morning "crawly-time". This is the time you must block them from doing such things as slinking under the gas or brake pedal, as their favorite spot is under the driver's seat. This spot is protected from the big, bad 18 -wheelers that ply the byways, and of course the terrifying windshield wipers. Orzo will head for cover anytime the wipers are in use, Gnocchi could care less.

We make it to St. Paul in good time and meet both the Lepinski/Buse Parental Units, including Heather's brother Keith, and his girlfriend Jessie at India Palace for dinner. Singh, the General Manager, still remembers us from catering our wedding nine years ago! Bellies full, and content with good company we make it back to the Buse geo-desic dome for some much needed sleep.
