we left st. louis at 10 pm (that's right, we left on time!) and drove all night to rapid city, south dakota. it felt so good to actually lay down and sleep last night... the kids were out in about a minute! we spent some time at badlands national park and also at mt. rushmore yesterday, also. besides some interesting conversation topics (we are travelling with a 10 year old boy and an 8 year old (tomorrow!) girl), the drive was mostly uneventful. we met up with matt's parents yesterday evening, and had plans to go to an old firehouse-turned brewery for dinner. it sounded really neat, so we all loaded up and headed out. it was exactly the kind of restaurant you want to find on vacation, the kind you remember for a long time... BUT, the wait was 2 hours, and since 10 of us hadnt eaten since breakfast, and it was 7:00, we decided to move along. to a chinese buffet. it was typical. nothing to report.
today we are headed to devil's tower and custer's last stand, and finally stopping for the night in big timber, montana.
