OMG….Ketchup!!

Phew what a whirlwind of driving!! Ok so, let’s get you caught up before we hit another show. We left Denver and headed straight for Rapid City, SD to meet up with the wonderful woman that gave me Jo. We arrived as a great surprise to her (YAY!!), which was awesome because we thought that we had given ourselves away a few times. I got to meet Jos’ nana and see 3 generations of wonderful ladies interact and I’m going to have to admit, it was a little eerie. There is no denying the relationship there. We unwound a bit and realized towards the end of the night that we were waaay more tired that we thought we were. We went to sleep and I woke up to this: Omnonnommy goodness!!! Eggs cut up in squares. yuuummm…pardon while I wipe away the drool.

Through out the entire drive through Wyoming heading towards South Dakota we kept seeing signs for Wall Drug and Jo kept stating how odd it was because it’s just a tiny place in the middle of SD. Well after we left Rapid City we HAD to stop off at Wall Drug and I have to say, I was greatly amused. We continued on our scenic tour through South Dakota and took advantage before we hit nothing.

  After some more driving we ended up here:  Ladies and gentlemen, the Worlds Only Corn Palace!! Needless to say the endless puns kept me entertained to quite a while. 

And then we drove…and drove…and drove! If I never see another construction site in my life, it’ll seriously be too soon. But we eventually had to stop and feed our faces and look at what we found:   After some more driving and some more construction work we ended up in Wisconsin. As Jo has mentioned, we ran behind and I think that was my bad. I thought it was a 6 hour drive and not a 9 hour drive so I decided that we could take our time leaving Rapid City, oops. Well, on to Chicago, cross your fingers we don’t run into Oprah but that we do run into John Cusack.
