Vacation (day 4): Happy Anniversary all roads in SD reduce to one lane

We hit Dinosaur Park first, but Kayla was quick to remind us that she wanted to see the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs. To fulfill her 2nd wish, seeing a bison, we skipped one slow scenic road for another equally slow, scenic road.

Here's an observation: All roads in South Dakota reduce to one lane. There's road construction everywhere. At one point, we were forced to drive on packed dirt. There's one-lane bridges and one-lane tunnels (honk your horn). Before this, I've never driven on a US hwy with a speed limit of 25 mph.

Kayla got to see her mammoths and bison as well as antelope, prairie dogs, and one dirty goat. She says she's happy.

Mom took Kayla for the evening so DeAnn and I could celebrate our anniversary. We had slow danced at lunch. For dinner, we went to Botticelli. It was great! The quote of the night came from another table: "Hey, Roger! Feel her lips, they're numb!"
