Rapid City, South Dakota to Fairmont, Minnesota

Are we home yet? No? Darn. Another day of driving with not a lot to see. We were lazy getting up and didn't get to our complimentary breakfast at the Comfort Inn in Rapid City, South Dakota until 9:15AM. Back on I-90, the only highlights were stops at Wall Drug in Wall, South Dakota and the Corn Palace in Mitchell. Basically, two tourist traps. Oh well, at least we got out of the car for a bit. Driving by the Badlands was pretty nice. Jennifer thinks she spotted a couple buffalo's grazing on the side of the road. Hmm. We've definitely left the mountains behind now. In fact, it's flat and boring again. At least it didn't rain. We stopped for dinner at Perkin's, then tried unsuccessfully to find the state of Iowa. They must have moved it. This gave John another headache so he moped for the last hour or so. Once we checked into the Hampton Inn in Fairmont, Minnesota we headed for the pool as usual. It was nice and warm, but way too crowded. We swam for 45 minutes or so and called it a night. Only 2 more days and we'll be back in Michigan...or maybe we'll be home tomorrow.
