Vacation (day 2): We have arrived!

There came a point this afternoon where DeAnn was sure we'd never get here. Maybe it was the driving rain, the fact that we saw more cows than people, or the numerous construction sites that reduced us to one lane of traffic that drove her to pessimism. No, she says it was not being able to breathe thru her nose. (Stupid allergies.)

Kayla liked our stay last night and our free breakfast so well, she thinks we should always stay at the Super 8. Mom wanted to drive more but has been tickelled by the trip so far. It was her idea to stop to see the Missouri River.

There, a member of the National Eagle Center had a bald eagle. As Kayla posed next to it for a picture, it jumped off the man's shoulder, toward Kayla, and batted her in the head! Caught it in a photo!

As we passed into the Mountain Time Zone, our phones flipped back & forth between zones. We saw the Badlands from the highway. Now at the Hotel Alex Johnson. More soon!
