We're on our way.  We're heading to California to start a slightly modified life.  Excited as it may be, we've got a lot of ground to cover.  I thought you would like to see the things we encounter on our ~2000 mile journey.  (I know it 's just what you have all wanted!).  Enjoy!

Places of interest:  No one place.  We got a late start, so no fun attractions along the way.  We did decide to take the Iowa Loess Hills Scenic Byway instead of just heading north on I-29.  Lots of great rolling hills, tiny towns, and bluffs.  We made it to Sioux Falls, SD, at dinner time, ate at Old Chicago, and checked into the Fairfield Inn.  Tomorrow we'll actually hit some great roadside attractions on the way to Mount Rushmore.
