We made it!

We sprinted the last two days, and ended up in Boston on August 11. After Mt. Rushmore, we drove through Minnesota and Iowa, stopped in Chicago, and then made a two-day drive to Boston. Pictures are below:



Here we are in Glacier National Park, getting ready to do some fishing.

Yellowstone was really great. We saw a bear and many buffalo and deer. Yes, that is a picture of a mommy buffalo feeding her calf!















And, of course, there were other interesting things to see in Yellowstone.








Then we moved on to South Dakota and the Black Hills, where we found a whole bunch of motorcycles (who knew that the Sturgis rally was the first week in August?). Here's a picture of us at Mt. Rushmore.

And what trip would be complete without a journey into space?




Oops, that's just Rosa checking out a space suit at the Kirby Science Center in Sioux Falls, SD.


Well anyway, we did discover that a really, really large amount of corn is grown in Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois.
And the windmills in the Midwest are a little different than they used to be!
We went on to enjoy the Chicago Children's Museum before the mad dash to Boston. What a trip! We sure were ready to have some time without the car, and look forward to meeting new friends here in Boston.
