Arriving in South Dakota
Saturday, 5-24-2003: Got up around 8am and started driving again. Emily didn’t even want to shower or have breakfast anywhere so we ate cookies in the car for breakfast as we drove. Drove all day with very few stops and Emily was surprisingly good for the drive. We stopped at a gas station and redid our window signs to say MADE YOU LOOK and a few other slogans on the sides. We arrived in Rapid City, South Dakota around 4pm or so. Got on a pay phone to call the Spessas, then met them at their hotel.
We went to Target to pick up swimming gear for their kids. Then to some underground waterfall in a cave. We tried to go to some caverns but they were all closed. Came back to the hotel and let the kids swim for a few hours, then went to eat at a restaurant across the street. Came back and all went to sleep eventually. The kids had their own room and we had ours down the hall from them.
