Finally sightseeing!

Tower Campground
Sioux Falls, SD

Before I tell you about our day..

George wanted me to mention something.

When we went to the Hershey RV show

back in September, we got an odd call

on our way out of the park.

Apparently George dropped the case

that holds our RV business cards

out of his pocket.

Someone found it, and offered to

mail it to us (at our SD address).

We didn't have any faith, but..

there it was in our batch of mail!

There are very cool people in this world :-)

So today..

we got to go sightseeing..

and there were NO hardware stores involved!!

Mr Gnome is soooo happy!

We drove the 71 miles west

to Mitchell, SD

to see the famous 

Corn Palace!

It was a little 'corny'..

but it is pretty cool.

We must have picked a good day,

as they were starting to take

down the old murals,

to begin working on the next design.

A nice couple took our picture

in front of Mr Ear of Corn :-)

When asked where we were from,

we stumbled a bit before

saying that we were full time RVrs.

'Oh! My brother is too,

and he's workamping in San Jose, CA,

for the winter.'

So we told them that we are too,

so he told us which kind of coach

his brother has, and to look for him.

Ya think we might run into him? :-)

We decided to grab a bite

at a local cafe,

Cafe Teresa..

We both had paninis 

and they were great!

We took a walk around

the historic downtown district,

and saw this place:

Of course we picked up a few

things here :-)

Mr Gnome was so happy

to see something different!

Tomorrow we are finally 

heading south to find

warmer temps.

We will be staying at

Basswood Resort

in Platte City, MO

and taking advantage of 

their $99 for 4 night special.

Can't wait!
