At the end of July M and D had some vacation days planned to head to Minnesota for a family reunion. As the date got closer M realized that even though we had planned to leave on Wednesday no one else would be in MN until Thursday later afternoon. With M's new job approaching the decision teeter-tottor game was played. Do we work that extra day or do we go up and take our time? We finally made the decision Monday evening that things were looking good at M's job and who knew when she would get another day off as new employees and training would be taking place in August. So early Wednesday morning we headed out. The plan was to go through the Black Hills and possibly make it to Mitchell to visit some friends before heading to a hotel for the night. Through M's lack of planning and a slight unplanned detour coming out of the Black Hills (no pictures even though we passed Mt. Rushmore and I told M, "I've seen that before at school in a picture!") we ended up too far north of I-90 to visit friends. So M in a panic started calling the different hotels along the map and finally found a place in Aberdeen for us to spend the night. It actually worked out well (even though M was very sad to miss Mitchell and the friends there!) as the hotel had a fun park (ie. 2 slides!) for us to play on before bed and first thing the next morning.

I went with M quite a few times but even got brave enough to go down by myself as long as M was at the bottom to catch me!
