Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota

We left Chicago early Monday morning to get on our long trip to Murdo, South Dakota. We started in Illinois and then got to Wisconsin. Now being in Wisconsin we felt the need to stop and get some Wisconsin cheese, so we did. We stopped in the city of Wisconsin-Dellis which had almost every type of water park imaginable. There are indoor, outdoor, 200 foot slides, everything. Almost every hotel in this town had its own water park which was so interesting, especially with A pointing out every slide she saw!
We got back on the road and kept driving and went into Minnesota. We got off in this little town called Austin to go to a big time tourist attraction. Are you ready for this one? We went to the SPAM Museum!!! Oh Yes! They do have a museum dedicated to SPAM and we went! haha! It was actually a very interesting tour and they had a SPAM gift shop at the end which had everything you could imagine with the word SPAM on it. We were happy to settle for a post card.
We continued on our journey and entered in to South Dakota. We stopped in a historic cowboy town which A just absolutely loved, except it started sprinkling while we were on the tour. They had all kinds of historic buildings as well as a herd of buffalo. It was very interesting and I am glad we stopped. We continued on to Mithchell to go see the one and only Corn Palace. It had started to rain so we just did a drive-by and took some pictures of the outside which was very interesting and so unique. We got right back on the road since we had another 2 hours til our hotel and it started pouring and thundering and lightning again! We arrived to our hotel around 9 pm and now are going to get a good nights rest to leave tomorrow at 7 am to continue our journey!
