Cross Country Roadtrip Day #4

Traveling day... Drove across South Dakota and into Minnesota. After leaving Rapid City, SD with Starbucks in hand, we made our first stop in the town of Wall at the famous Wall Drug. We shared a delicious homemade cake doughnut with maple frosting.


Then we decided to take a scenic detour through the Badlands National Park. It was so prehistoric looking. I kept humming the theme song from Jurassic Park and checking over my shoulder to make sure a TRex wasn't following us. Nathan just kept making that chirping noise that the Velociraptors used. Fortunately or unfortunately there were no dinosaur sightings; however, we did see a few Bighorn Sheep crossing the road in front of us. I also got yet another stamp in my National Park passport :)

Drove the rest of the looong drive through the prairie listening to praise music and enjoying the huge puffy white clouds. Finally made it into Minnesota and pulled off into the town of Fairmont. We were very fortunate to be able to stay with some family friends (Steve and Bobetta Berthelsen) for two nights. Tasty snacks on arrival and several games of Sequence followed. Very nice to see familiar faces.
