The HuHot

Day 2: Rapid City, South Dakota to Des Moines, Iowa

Miles: 626
Departed: 11:00 a.m.
Arrived: 11:30 p.m.

First I need to make a note about yesterdays picture and all future pictures. I have allergies that create swelling in my eyes and face... enough said.

The weather today was beautiful, and since yesterday did not allow us to see Mt Rushmore, we took the time this morning to see it.







It was pretty cold, but a cool thing to see. By the time we reached Souix Falls, SD we realized that a tire was loosing air. We stopped at a gas station to put air in it and to see how fast it was really leaking. The tire was low again in Sioux City, IA so that is when We made a quick stop to Walmart since it was the only place still open and had them check it out. Sure enough we had a ginormis nail in. They fixed it in a matter of minutes, and we were back on the road.

Casey was pretty excited about being able to drive through Iowa because this is where he served his mission. He's been telling stories all day, his favorite place to eat was HuHot Mongolian Grill. So we took some time to show me what it was all about. Let me tell you it was AMAZING!!

Hercules is still being good and still finding weird places to sleep.  Casey and him have had some good bonding moments.....  As you can see Casey still thinks that Hercs is a kid, and Hercules still wants to be a boy.
