Day One & Two
Day Three
Day Four
Day Five: An excessively long day. I believe we covered a thousand plus miles today. Okay, well - it felt like it. Perhaps 700 is a better guess. Brian, again being the super driver. This day's blog would not be complete without a few words about where we ate breakfast. If you should ever find yourself driving across the southern I90 route through Wisconsin - you must make a stop in Wisconsin Dells. Not only is it some sort of Midwest indoor water park mecca, but it has the continental U.S.'s most creative and suprisingly tasty food. The Paul Bunyun Lumberjack Cook Shanty! The place is a long log-cabin with giant tables. They serve the food family style and kids cost their age mulitplied by $0.72. The breakfast was; scrambled eggs, link sausage, kielbasa, bisquits in gravy, potatoes and handmade donuts! Needless to say only August dared say "I'm hungry" less than 2 hours later.
I enjoyed the amounts of roadside wildflowers all along this trip. I was surprised at the amount of Queen Anne's lace. August read the jokes out of his Awana book so many times that Ocean now has the answers memorized. The boys also found a way out of boredom by coloring their bodies with markers and fingernails and toenails.
We arrived late in the evening in Wall, SD with the plan of Wall Drug early the next morning, Mount Rushmore and perhaps the weird place in the Black Hills where you can roll a ball uphill.
