We went 500 miles today, all the way across Missouri then straight up to Iowa and through Iowa until we hit Sioux Falls, SD. Approximately 9 hrs...we are all tired.
Avery did great and all in all it was an uneventful day. The flooding in Missouri and Iowa was still evident, I can't imagine what it looked like a couple of weeks ago.
We have such faith in TomTom now we actually threw our paper directions into a recycle bin today. I would compare our experience with TomTom to puppy love. We actually sit in the car anxiously awaiting his next word. Our hearts skip a beat when he says, "turn left in 200 yards!"
Court had a great idea about checking out the Falls Park in Sioux Falls so after we checked into the hotel we spent about an hour walking around the park. It was beautiful and the waterfall was spectacular. I wish we would have had more time or better planning they have a nightly light show that seemed to be something worth catching.
On a serious note: During dinner we called a family meeting and made the decision to invite TomTom to sleep in the hotel with Donald. He deserved a good nights rest!
The highlights today were seeing the flood stuff first hand, not so much a highlight, but meaningful. Without a doubt Falls Park was pretty cool! And of course Donald earned a neck for attempting to open a push door by pulling it for about 45 seconds at a BP today.
