The Beginning

This year we wanted to try an old fashioned, cooler in the back of the car kind of vacation. We were going to try to spend our time seeing the sites of America and not try to be in a hurry to get anywhere. We have no definite plans, just going to go where the road leads us and try to see as many interesting things along the way as we can. Well, here we are in South Dakota. Vacation off to a good start, it is early on Saturday morning and everyone else is still sleeping. We traveled about 650 miles yesterday and saw many great things along the way. I think my favorite stop was at Sioux Falls where we stopped and got out to look at the falls and climb around on the rocks a bit. The rocks were the most incredible red color and worn completely smooth. They had a polished look to them and were just beautiful. The water however, was unbelievably low and so there just weren't too many big falls. I am sure it is beautiful when the water is high, but for us it was still a great place to get out and do a little walking around after being in the car all day.
