South Dakota to Minnesota




We have not been able to connect to the internet until today Tuesday 7/15/08. They don't have a Starbuks on every corner around here so we'll try to do some posting today. Also, thanks to all who have responded to our posts. It's great reading your comments.

Saturday 7/5/08
The four of us had a leisurely breakfast talking about old times and catching up on our lives today. The kids were still in bed because of the late night last night. We walked around the property and were introduced to the chickens and kittens and enjoyed their beautiful yard. We had to leave our best campsite yet and were on the road by 1pm. If you are ever driving by Brookings, SD and you need a nice place to relax, give Bob and Donna a call.
On the way to Faribault, Minnesota, we stopped in Walnut Grove at the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum. We are still trying to make up for Ed missing The Corn Palace! We ate at Nellie’s diner and saw Oleson’s Mercantile. We needed to be here a week from now because they are having The Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant and they expect people from all over the world. It lasts for three weekends. While we were there, on the 4th of July weekend, it was pretty quiet with not many places open.
We pulled into Faribo RV Park at about 7pm, we missed the brats and hot dogs. After setting up we did some grocery shopping and checked out where the bike trail started. We went back to camp and had dinner with a camp fire. It has been very windy here today so we want to try to get a bike ride in tomorrow morning.
