Holy Cow, South Dakota is full of cows. It's a really beautiful state though, and I really enjoyed listening to Lilly say "Moo, Baa" every time we passed a field full of cows. We had a fun filled day. We were on the road by 5 am as usual and by 8 am we were stopping off at the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. We looked at some corn, spent a bunch of money on tourist trap stuff, and got back in the car.
So we drove for hours, saw hilly beautiful cow filled fields, crossed the Missouri river and saw the out skirts of the Bad Lands. We stopped in Wall, SD, at Wall Drug, which is a huge tourist trap akin to South of the Border in South Carolina. It was fun and full of Bikers. It's bike week in Sturgis, so we've been seeing them most of our way west, but this town was wall to wall motorcycles. I enjoyed it immensely. My parents ride, so it reminded me of home.
We got back in the car and headed west again. We went out to see Mt. Rushmore and then checked into our hotel in Rapid City. We had our required swim, ate dinner, and headed downtown to see the bronze presidents. Yes, on the corners, all down the two main streets they have bronze statues of our past presidents. We took the girls pictures with every one. It' sounds silly, but it was so much fun watching them pose.
So here we are, a family of robots, in South Dakota.
That sounds very cool!
