Badlands-Bison, great rocks and formations. Warning scenic roads are winding. If you have someone like Chloe and myself best to take some dramamine first. Did I tell you she has thrown up twice now. Once in yellowstone and once on way to Snowqualamie. She does not do well on scenic roads!
Standing at the sign for a picture for the Badlands National Park Chloe sneezed as I took the picture. it is now the most favorite picture as she has snotted it all up yet is still smiling.
On the recommendation of my parents and the 6 pack we went to Corn Palace and after De Smet we did Wall Drug.
The Corn Palace is a place that started as a way for farmers to show their fruits of labor. To show that South Dakota was fertile. They covered the building in corn and oinions etc. They carry on the tradition today and change the murals every year. The corn husks cover the outside of the building and the inside. This year is travel(how appropriate). I liked the one with the airplane, joel liked the bison, tom liked the hands shaking and chloe lik the mt rushmore sall done in corn husks. Very neat.
After the corn palace we went to de smet a post all of itself. After DeSmet we decided to drive to Wall Drug. It is a really neat place. It was only mildly disappointing that the soda fountian, cafe and donut shop were closed for the season. They have all of that plus dinos outback and 27 different shopes all in one place. After we browsed we went around the corner and stayed at Best Western with the intention of getting dinner after we checked in. Guess what restaurants are closed for the season. So we had PB sandwhiches in the room. Next Day Legoland!
