On the Road!

We left bright and early this morning (3:45!), and had a very uneventful drive. Dave was awesome, he slept the first 5 hours and the last 1 1/2 and watched his tv shows in between.

We made it all the way to Mitchell, SD-just 4 hours from the Badlands. Since we arrived mid-afternoon, we went to check out the local touristy place...The Corn Palace.

The entire outside is designed with corn cobs and various other plants. They change the theme every year-this year is American Pride.

Josh and Dave with the giant ear of corn.

And them being "corny".






We're about to go to bed so we can rise early again to make it to the Badlands. I'm going to keep a running tally of miles traveled and hours logged.

Miles: about 800, I don't remember exactly!

Hours in the car: 13

Here are two pictures from before we left. Dave fell off the bleachers at the softball fields (don't worry, he was fine). He did receive a nasty fat lip from it though.

Scowling at me when I asked him to say cheese.

Here is his fat lip. Poor little guy!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I will update again in a couple of days.
