Day Two Completed... Whew!

WOW! Now ya'll know how much I love road trip but that was a long day of about 800 miles (I'll get an odometer reading tomorrow morning). We drove for about 14 hours today and drove through 4 states and just over the border into Souix Falls, SD. But luckily we are back on schedule! Yay!

How did we make it through such a long day, you ask?! (1) Take a lot of breaks- More than you think you need, like every 2 hours or so. (2) the passenger is there to keep the driver awake and get them whatever they need. (3) Snacking does NOT help the time go by faster even though you will have the urge, it just makes you feel bloated and gain weight since all you are doing is sitting. (4) Establishing mini-goals for destination points along your route, so counting down the miles doesn't seem so overwhelming. (5) Music! Music! Music!

National Park traveling begins tomorrow with the Badlands! :) Night! We will be sleeping in!
