Last year we took a girl's vacation and visited Peggy, celebrated her birthday and watched her daughter graduate from High School. This trip was not supposed to be a vacation--it was supposed to be easy in easy out.
This trip was supposed to go as follows--take a chin to Peggy to drop off, pick up a chin from Peggy and head back home.
This is what happened instead:
Peggy told us it was 9 hours from Chicago to where she lives in South Dakota. Last year we went via Wisconsin and Minnesota. It made Sandi sick--she HATES Wisconsin, so she explained to me going from Illinois would be MUCH quicker AND all the highways were big and 4 lane and not just one lane highways as we ran into a couple of times in WI last year.
We wanted to leave at 3pm and get there at midnight. Peggy had LOTS planned. I was there at 3pm, however someone wasn't BUT we were on the road at 4pm. Sandi mapquested it and miraculously it said 10 hours and one minute instead of 9. No worries we thought we are driving at night and will make up the time.
We arrived at 3:14am. Do the math people! Nearly 11 and a half hours!
We left Peggy's the following morning at around 10am and headed first to the Corn Palace. It is a building decorated with corn--yes that's right CORN! They don't dye corn they use Indian corn to come up the pictures they create on the outside as well as the inside of the building
Here's a close up of the eagle on the outside of the building:

I still couldn't believe that they did not have enough corn at the Corn Palace, lol! It was a fabulous place
