We’re not in Kansas anymore Toto. Or Ohio. After our Covid house fell through, we hit the road. Off to South Dakota we go. Our first day was pretty uneventful so I’m combining days one and two. A lot of driving! We made it to Des Moines, IA for our first night. We stopped in Urbandale, IA at a mall that was building an ice rink! The boys and I walked around there while Joe had a meeting in the car. Then we hit our hotel and walked to dinner at Beerhouse. Max wanted to try fish and chips but they were sold out. We will find some!!
So Day Two we head out and immediately hit Krispy Kreme for the boys!
Off we go to Mitchell, South Dakota! Along the 5 hour drive we received calls from the boys new hockey coaches for the upcoming season. Everyone is so ready to be back. Speaking of, aside from closed dining rooms and some masks, not much is different from Covid yet. We will see if that changes the farther West we go!
Next we hit Mitchell and the Corn Palace. Joe and the boys thought they were really funny with their corny jokes and songs.
The Corn Palace was a quick stop and we were back on the road!
Horrible storms hit as we left Mitchell. Literally blew the car across two lanes. I made it though!! Once we were through it the sun came back out. During the storm it went from 89 to 62 degrees in just a few minutes!
We finally made it to Wall, SD! Did some shopping and checked in to the Econolodge. I’ll leave it at that. Mama will not be back. At all. Yuck. Off to Wyoming tomorrow!!
