South Dakota




We hit South Dakota yesterday afternoon and passed through Sioux Falls. We are staying in Mitchell the home of the famous world's only corn palace. We plan to tour that today along with the homestead of Laura Ingalls Wilder. That takes me back to years of watching Little House on the Prairie.
We stayed in Jackson MS for an overnight prior to SD. This was the first time rain stuck with us during camp set up. We usually have rain when we drive. It has been rare that it hasn't rained a least a little while driving. But it was a soggy set up this time. Fortunately the rain passed and the kids were able to get out and blow off steam. They went for a hay ride and later swam in the heated pool.
We pulled out the next morning after a round of mini golf. This current campground has an indoor waterslide so my plea to go to the corn palace has fallen on deaf ears. I kindly explained that we did not travel to SD to hit a waterslide. Still no takers. I'll post some photos later and let you know which venture won out.
