Two days and more than half the country




We left Maryland with Remi and Elliot on Friday and made it to Chicago from Baltimore in one night. Then we made it to Brandon, S.D., on Sunday.

What a drive with two amazing kids who, among other things, put up with Simon and Garfunkel music, endless hours across windmill strewen Minnesota and numerous potty breaks.

But now, today, the adventure really begins as we will hit our first national park of the trip: Badlands National Park. What an amazing place.

Along the way will be the Mitchell Corn Palace and Wall Drugs.

Mitchell leaders wanted their town to be state capital but lost out so the became the corney capital of the world and are probably better off.

Wall Drugs is the South Of The Border of this region. But it will be great for the kids to run and cool off after the badlands.
