In 2008 Christopher and I decided that we needed to take a trip to a place that neither of us had been. We found it interesting that neither of us had been to Mt. Rushmore.
We went on a three day weekend, one of the last in September and left on a Thursday night. We drove all the way to Rapid City, SD and stayed in a Holiday Inn, near a Wal-Mart. This worked out well as I did not bring a bathing suit. At the Wal-Mart we bought loads of snack foods, magazines and some music for the road.
I didn't know this at the time, but Chris likes to play games like "Do you think that I can make this[quarter/can/diaper] into the [jar/trash bin]?", "Guess the song I'm playing on the guitar?" and his favorite "Guess what I just did?". He'd been saying, pretty much all the way to Rapid City, that we needed road trip music...so, when we got back to the car, he started the game. "Guess what I just did?"..."What?" I said not understanding that I had to bite and guess, that is, after all, part of the game. "Guess?", "I dunno", "I bought something." "Huh?" and then I got excited and realized it was music for the road, as soon as he popped it in, I knew who and what song it was Road Trippin' by RHCP...impressed with my music knowledge (he didn't know I am a music goddess), he leaned back in the seat of the Camero and drove back to the hotel.
While seeing Mt. Rushmore (I'll add pics to this post later...they aren't on this computer...frankly, I don't know where the CD is) and Wall Drug, jackalopes, 1880s town and The Corn Palace were fun sights and, flitting about Sioux Falls and Omaha 'home of the black squirrel', where the downtown has a DELICIOUS cupcake bakery, were definitely wonderful parts of our trip--this event that I will always remember, this event that everyone should experience--the night that sticks out is our night at Wal-Mart, listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers getting to know one another through our conversation.
