When we got up this morning we went around town to find someone who might be able to fix the problems on our car.  We discovered that they could tell us what was wrong, but no one in town had the parts to fix it.

So we drove about 100 miles down the road to Coon Rapids (a suburb of Minneapolis) where the Costco would fix our tire (it was under warranty) and the Pep Boys would fix our brakes.  It wasn't a bad place to be stuck, Costco and Pep Boys were right across the street from each other, and there were all kinds of stores to walk around and kill time in.  We were there for almost 6 hours waiting for our car to be ready to go.  As you can see Nicholas got a little bit tired of waiting!  What a trooper.

We are home now safe and sound.  New brakes, new tire, and ready for bed!
