Today we started off bright and cheery after a wonderfully restful night at a glorious Super 8 in Rapid City, SD. The rooms were clean, breakfast was there and we all slept comfortably with the 6 year old on the floor in a sleeping bag. I traded up to a 10 year old who kept to her side of the bed and didn't really move the entire night! We all woke up refreshed! Our day was filled with sightseeing at Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse. We were so amazed by Mt Rushmore. I had never been there until today and it was inspirational! I actually teared up during the movie they showed about the making of Mt Rushmore. It was an wonderful! The Crazy Horse memorial I wasn't so impressed with because it wasn't even close to being finished. Only the face was there but I can say I was there. We ate lunch at my brother-in-laws favorite place in the world, Sonic. He'll be pleased we stopped there. My sis and her young ones hadn't ever been there so it was a new experience for them. Then we headed off for our 250 mile drive to Sheridan, WY. Wow what a long drive when you have nothing to look at. South Dakota was much more interesting and beautiful. We didn't get into a hotel until after 7pm but it's a nice one. We are at a Holiday Inn this time and it's gorgeous. The kids even had a pool to swim in. I do fear for their lives sometimes as my sisters and my patience are wearing very thin. Somehow we'll make it, I think.
Tomorrow we are in for an almost 500 mile drive to Missoula, MT. We are contemplating dressing all the kids in diapers to limit our pit stops. Wish us and the kids luck! Hopefully you'll hear from me tomorrow night with all of us in tack. By the way, the dog is still alive too.
