And we're off...


Mike has 122,843 miles on him today. The real trip begins...we have breakfast with Dennis & JoAnn. Leave Bozeman at 10:15am. Get some gas in Billings ($2.57 a gallon). Make pb&j sandwiches in the car. My allergies are still awful! Benjamin only asked are we there yet about 6 times before we even got out of Montana, once before we even got out of Bozeman! Hannah even asked a few times, she must have forgot what 9 hours in a car is like! We stopped and had dinner in Rapid City, SD at Arnold's Classic Diner. There was a rabbit in the parking lot, later Benjamin told me he knew why that city was called "Rabbit City". We were trying to get to Kennebec, SD but Dan got one of those 5 hour energy drinks and was ready to keep driving on. Got gas in Reliance, SD ($2.64 a gallon). Dan drove all the way to Sioux Falls, SD - he finally stopped at 12:40. We stay at some seedy (is that the correct spelling) motel. 793 miles logged today!
