Spring Break Road Trip ~How We Made it Home

The drive between SD and GA takes Two and a Half Days,
depending on traffic, of course.
This stand-still situation was due to a lane closure,
merging lanes,
and an accident up ahead.
 
Our daughter and son-in-law sent us on our way with a
hearty breakfast of Avocado Toast.

You know you’re not in the Dakotas anymore,
when you stop for fuel and convenience store snacks,
and see this counter.
No, we didn’t try them, this time…
maybe on our next trip south.

And this is what a Rest Area looks like in Kentucky.

 It was complete with a greeter, information brochures,
 along with the usual bathrooms, and vending machines.

Breakfast was served on our laps the next morning.
Fresh Bagels and Cream Cheese.

With a Large Coffee for me and
Diet Coke for Hubby.

We crossed two big Rivers on our way home…

The Mississippi River,

And the Ohio River.

We enjoyed this quaint little spot for lunch.

And we also took a break at a handmade/antique/flea market.
Fitbit was telling me that we needed to get some steps!

How cute is this cat?
“Meow”

We rely on Google’s recommendations to find food
and lodging along the way. It works well for us…most of the time.
This was where we had hoped to find a beverage and
bite to eat at the end of our travel day.
You can see it was closed until the weekend.

It was one of three places to eat in this large Casino.
We had parked, checked in, and walked across the parking lot,
so didn’t really feel like getting back into the pickup.

The other restaurant was up-scale, white tablecloths, etc.
We were in our travel attire.
We were satisfied to find something here.

Our last stop was in Sioux Falls, SD,
as Hubby wanted to get a bag of their grass seed.
I guess he was feeling optimistic about
working outside in the yard when we got home.
I was hanging out with these cute bunnies while
he was outside in the Garden Center.

Back in the Pickup for the last leg of our trip…
Then this happened.

An appropriate ending
to our Spring Break Vacation!

Take care,
~Natalie
