Day 2 Unexpected Sights

What a day!!  A lot of miles laid down during pretty rough conditions.  Very pretty scenery, just hammering wind all day…  Could never relax, butt puckered, white knuckled all day long.

Little did we know yesterday when we pulled off for the night that we were only 10 minutes from the American Pickers original store.  We had to stop and look around which was fun to see.

Across the street was the Mississippi river and all the kids put a hand in it just to say they had touched it.

We then hit the road and made our way through Iowa and into Minnesota.  Large fields and rolling hills, very interesting to see.  While on a gas stop we happened to run into the Jolly Green Giant and had to stop for a picture.  We also bought a can of green beans to eat later at supper.

After another gas stop or 2, we made our way to a small campground (FAMIL-E-FUN) about 2 miles west of Mitchell, South Dakota.  We made sloppy-joe and *green beans* for supper.  We followed that up with some games around the campgrounds that included a tight game of PIG between Dad and Lincoln which was ultimately won by Linc.  A small fire with smores, then showers and popcorn.  A Great Day!!  Tomorrow we become some serious tourist.
