Everyone -
Yesterday was long one. After coffee (and new shoes) at the Mall of America with E and Lauren, we had lunch with Leigh-anna and then hit the open road. Minnesota and South Dakota are both really boring and flat. Our first sightseeing excursion was to Mitchell SD, for the Corn Palace, which we both thought was a little weak.
We spent the night in the middle-of-nowhere SD and then we hit Wall Drug, The Bad Lands, a Prairie Sod House, the Black Hills, and Mt. Rushmore. It was a fun day of super lame tourist traps, which made Dave and I giggle. The Bad Lands were a lot cooler than either of us thought and we would highly recommend it.
Now we are watching the food channel ( go figure) after a dinner at a local brewery and running around the water slide park at our hotel.
I hope everyone had a great fourth.
Love,
Abby
PS We are doing really well on our no chain dining rule. Yesterday we ate dinner at a family restaurant called the Roll'n pin, and chocolate malts at the frosty king somewhere in SD. Today we had a diner breakfast in Murdo SD, lunch in Wall across from Wall Drug (mmmm indian tacos), 2 chocolate sodas at Wall drug, and dinner at the Fire House Brewery in Rapids City SD.

Abby left a pair of PJ pants and a stick of deoderant at our house. Ali is concerned that if this trend continues, Abby will be naked and smelly by the time they reach California.
Mom and Dad - you should check Abby's bedroom and make sure she didn't leave the television on...
Just kidding! Glad the trip is going well. Go kids, go!!
Very Funny Wade!! Sorry about leaving my PJ's behind. They are pretty comfy, so feel free to lounge in them. Everything is going well, and we are having fun :)
Kisses
Abby
Sounds like you guys are having a great time! It makes me a little jealous. Stupid day job...

Maybe Abby's leaving articles of clothing behind so they can find their way home in March? It's just a thought. Glad you're getting there and if you get to have a chocolate shake every day on a long drive, I might just have to try it.
Love, Mom
