Back home from an awesome trip!

Sorry for the few days delay in posting. We had a long drive ahead of us, and were just so tired when we got to the hotel and back home, I just didn't feel like posting anything until now.

So we left Hot Springs on Monday and drove through Wind Cave National Park and Custer State Park. While driving through, we saw a herd of buffalo as well as antelope....so VERY cool! It was a beautiful drive through the parks on winding roads, seeing all the trees and wild flowers. We stopped for gas and lunch in Rapid City, then started on the long journey back towards home.

We made it as far as Mitchell and decided to stay the night...good thing too as a big storm was moving in. While there, we learned of a museum that was all about the Ford Mustang...man was I in heaven! This guy had complete years of various Mustangs- from GT 350 and 500's, to the classic car and a cobra. The collection is worth over a million dollars!

Tuesday, after stopping at the Mustang museum, we got on the road again. I drove for 3 hours and made a stop in New Ulm, MN at Happy Joe's Pizza (ummm...taco pizza :)). We finally made it home about 7:30 that night, again after hitting a few good storms on the way in.

Overall, it was such an awesome trip. We lucked out with great weather, met some fun people (including a couple from Holland), and took many pictures. The best part of all was sharing this experience with someone you love, and who enjoys trips as much as you do...love ya Joe!!

TTFN!
