I have been overly tired. We figured out we are having jet lag while driving. We keep losing hours and we haven't pried ourselves off of Eastern time yet. Half way through South Dakota we lost another hour, we are now in Mountain time. Too bad birthdays can't drop off by driving east.
Look-it's not a corn field
We saw this attraction advertised from billboards on the side of the road. It was time for leg stretching so we said-why the heck not? I figured it was free, so after turning our clocks back we stepped back to 1880. Actually, you have to pay to get it in-but they do have a military discount (yeah ID card). I walked in a little miffed because I am getting tired of feeling like we are hemorrhaging money (or maybe I cranky from sleep deprivation). As usual, I needed to just lighten up-it was a lot of fun. They had all kinds of shops that were 1880 era with tons of items in them. What we really liked was being able to touch a lot of them. There was a Longhorn Saloon that we bellied up to the bar and ordered Sarsaparillas. Yany showed Alyse how to spit in the spittoon-her aim is pretty good.

1880 Town was a neat distraction from a long day of driving. We are stopping tonight in Rapid City, SD and plan on seeing Mt. Rushmore in the morning. We should be to our new home by Saturday-I hope.
Coffee break with the dinosaur
We've been gone so long that I almost feel like cooking...almost. Maybe I should lie down until that thought passes.
