- Our TomTom only recognizes 2 roads in Nebraska neither of which we were traveling. We finally turned him off all he said was, "turn around". He never recalculated.
- On Hwy 2 we travel 260 miles and we are fairly confident we saw 255 miles of coal trains.
- The sky in Nebraska is HUGE.
- The nicest building in each of the little towns we went through belonged to the VET.
- On Hwy 2 you can drive 100mph and I have to say the mini van drives very smooth.
On to South Dakota! Our Western States are so beautiful. We drove through Custer State Park. We saw prairie dogs (Haley called them cats) and tons of buffalo and deer. I included a photo of the buffalo. There were signs everywhere that said : Do not approach buffalo-they are dangerous. This guy was laying by the road. You should have heard Matty she wanted us to keep moving. Christian stopped the car and I rolled down the window and snapped the picture. The screaming from Matty for us to go didn't even phase the buffalo.
Then on to Mount Rushmore. Incredible!! Fabulous!! What can I say? We walked all the trails they would let us and enjoyed every moment. 
Hands down our favorite activity of the day--The Bad Lands of South Dakota---!!! They were breathe taking. Especially, when little CB would go to the edge. I didn't want to be the mom that lost a child and be on CNN. Our southern accent...CNN...boy fell down because mom has so many kids she couldn't watch them all...and they wonder why I am so EDGY!
I did finally let them climb the hills and they even took the baby. I did go part of the way up the mountain. They had a blast, I calmed down. No one had to be rescued.
Our last stop of the day. The Corn Palace in Mitchell. Yes, it is made of corn. Loved it!! Oh we stopped at Wall drugs and got our free ice water and a buffalo burger. We loved SD and maybe we will move here.
