Vacation time!

This year, we went to South Dakota with Cowboy's family to celebrate his parent's 40th wedding anniversary. It turned out to be a fun trip.

We saw a car show our first night. Minions were overjoyed. They LOVE car shows.

 

We also raced Indy go-karts at Flags and Wheels in Rapid City. Cowboy managed to T-bone me hard enough to knock the glasses off of his face and give him a mild case of whiplash. I ended up with impressive bruises on my legs from the steering column. I couldn't see who hit me, but for some weird feeling I knew it was probably him. He beat me by a second in lap times, but I'm still a better driver.

 

 

We also visited Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, Dinosaur Park, Cosmos Mystery Area, the Alpine Slide, Keystone and Rushmore cave. On the way to Mount Rushmore, we surprised the minions with a visit to a car zoo, Motion Unlimited Museum and Car Lot. Much groaning was heard from the backseat. See, middle minion is so thrilled to visit the car zoo. He will get into an argument with his brother in about 10 minutes.

 

 

 

This car, this car is evil. All of the other cars have no vibe, but this one, EVIL.

Apache!

 

 

I think the best car zoo was one we found on the way home. We kept seeing signs for Pioneer Auto. One of the signs mentioned the General Lee and Cowboy mentioned we should stop. He did briefly reconsider when he thought they just had the General Lee and not a lot else.

 

"You do know they just had a sign that said they had 250 cars?"

"Really? Well, we could stop then"

 

The place is huge. I think we spent over an hour and closer to two there. Even the minions had fun. It's a combination car zoo, antique museum. With the holy grail of Chargers, one of the original General Lee's. Look at the joy on Cowboy's face, he's so happy.

 

 

 

 

He was just as happy when he found the Superbird. I just don't like this car. He loves it and still keeps trying to convince me that the Charger should look like this.

 

All in all, great trip for cars and fun things to do. We did come to the realization though, we need to stay busy so we don't spend our vacation wondering what we really should be doing instead. Because it's time to get home and see if the parts we ordered during our trip are in.
