First leg of our vacation

On our LONG trek cross country to Yellowstone National Park, our first "real" stop was in Mitchell, South Dakota to see the Corn Palace. It was really neat. All decorated with corn. Inside and out. A must for those of you that love the touristy type things like me. I am a sucker for these things!!

Here is one of the designs inside. They change the designs every year. They were truly amazing!


Our next stop was at Wall Drug, South Dakota. Also a must for those like me. I think she liked me much more then Jon! Jon got a little jealous of the lady! Her eyes were very intense!

Just around then ben, were the Badlands. Seriously just 20 minutes down the road. We saw so much neat stuff here. Amazing how the terrain can be so different in other states!

More Badlands pictures! It was really pretty there. We saw so much buffalo there. They were not even 20 feet away from us. Jon was so excited until he realized it was not proper climbing material!
I have to say this was an amazing vacation. More pictures will be to come. We eventually made it to Yellowstone. Several bad storms later, but we made it. Stay tuned for pictures of the next leg of the trip.
