The ride was pretty easy. It was basically flat and straight. It was pretty seeing all the prairies. We made one detour..Wall Drug. We got out and stretched and walked around. It was an odd place. Very touristy. It is hard to describe, but it is a bunch of little shops within one shop, along with a cafe. Nikki got a dish of homemade ice cream and Stan and I had a doughnut. Ethan opted for the "Free Ice Water" that they advertise. Glad we stopped...won't go back again.
We were going to drive through the badlands, but when we found out there was a charge to drive through it, we opted for the highway and looked at it from a distance. We drove all the way to Mitchell, which is about an hour outside of Sioux Falls. We had intentions on stopping at the World Famous Corn Palace, but we were starving, so we ate first. Then after we were done eating, we decided that we were more tired and just wanted to reach Sioux Falls.
The whole trip took just over 5 hours, which isn't too bad, but I think it is all catching up with us. We arrived at Stan's cousin's house and all four of us have been dragging ever since. I think an early bed time and a chance to sleep in tomorrow should do the trick.
I am looking forward to driving around the Sioux Falls area tomorrow then getting together with some families for some pizza and softball in the evening.
