Just wait until you come back over the border. T.T They BREED American Border Guards.

Some things for you to do while you're up there:

Go to Tim Horton's.
Eat an Aero Bar.
Have creamed honey on toast.

Oh, and if you drove up through Minnesota and crossed by international falls, I think I know the EXACT best buy you're talking about. XD

I'm sure it will prove...interesting. The border guard for going into Canada had a sense of humor.

Guard: You have anything your taking into the country and leaving?
Mike: Yeah, we got some gifts for the relatives we're visiting and such.
Guard: Anything exceeding $100?
Mike: Nope, think the most expensive thing would be a $50 baby toy.
Guard: What don't like them enough?

We cut through Minnesota but didn't cross into Canada there. Did that at the North Dakota border.
The Best Buy comment came because we had literally hours of seeing nothing but small towns that had maybe 1 gas station with a fast food joint in it. Even that was rare. So when we suddenly saw signs for towns we were thinking "Oh crap another itty bitty blink town with jack in it."
Then we see a Best Buy and we're like "OMG CIVILIZATION!"
