Day 21 (Buffalo to Custer, SD)
This was the longest leg of our trip.
My neck hurts.
The Flintstone campground is neat.
The Crazy Horse monument is going to be huge!
I don't think I'll ever be able to see the completed Crazy Horse.
Day 22 (South Dakota)
Storybook island is free admission.
The dinosaur park has been there forever (since the 1930s)
Walking the city of presidents taking pictures with a bunch of the statues was educational and fun.
Day 23 (South Dakota)
Sometimes, it is nice to just chill and do nothing special for a few hours.
Mount Rushmore is awesome especially at the light up ceremony.
They recognize every single service member by name during the flag lowering ceremony.
Day 24 (South Dakota)
A real live archeological dig site for mammoth bones is neat-o, but I don't know how those people stand such slow work.
It takes 46 weeks to process 6 weeks of digging.
If you ever want to open a community pool and save on chlorine and cleaning expenses, just buy a hot spring, put a building around it, setup some water slides, and call it Evan's Plunge.
Day 25 (Custer to Sioux Falls, SD)
The donuts at Wall Drug store are pretty good.
The Corn Palace is a very interesting place, craft store by day, multi-purpose arena by night.
My neck still hurts.
Day 26 (Sioux Falls to Des Moines, IA)
The cows only hang out in the northwest corner off their ranch.
The horses never hang out with the cows.
Day 27 (Hanging out with Sencer-Deitzs)
Our diabetic cat Scout was put to sleep today after she went into a diabetic coma. It was sad, but she was ready at the ripe old age of 16 and being diabetic for the last 6.
Jordyn likes wearing the cone of shame.
Things Forgotten
Jessica can read a book while I am listening to music, the girls are watching a movie without headphones, and we are driving on a bumpy road.
What memories. Very sorry about Scout. Sounds like you need a good ole neck rub or just a stiff drink...lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you! A big old Scout purr and one of her love rubs would be nice, but the memories will have to suffice.
ReplyDeleteI had a Mike' s Hard Lemonade yesterday, but i think i need something stronger soon. :-)
