Road Trip 2008 begins! After a few days in MN spent shopping, hanging out with old friends, and eating far too much, I went to the MSP airport to pick the Team up. We picked up our rental car where the very strict rental agent told Christina and Vickie that THEY were responsible for ANYTHING that happened to the car as soon as the keys were in their hands. Unless they got additional insurance, of course. We decided to risk it and accepted the responsibility.
To start our journey we went to the mecca of shopping, the Mall of America, for a few hours of consumer bliss. It was my third trip there in 48 hours. And yet I still managed to find something new to buy. From there we continued onto Target to pick up some staples: snacks, cooler, badminton set, etc.
Then we hit the road, leaving my beloved land of 10,000 lakes and headed southwest to the Rushmore State. (Fact: SD was aquired by the USA during the 1803 Louisiana Purchase) We drove late into the night and stayed in Sioux Falls, the largest city in the state. En route we stopped in Blue Eart, SD where they have an 85 foot tall Jolly Green Giant statue conveniently located next to Dairy Queen.
