This is a Pamida. Pamida is me and Thak's inside joke, and always has been, because when we were first dating, he made some stupid reference to Pamida, and I was like "What the hell is Pamida?" and he explained it to me that it's a store that towns in the midwest have if they're not big enough for a Wal Mart. Meanwhile, Pamida has been the running joke for the better part of a decade now. We saw this Pamida in Kansas, and had to stop to take a picture with it.
New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas were so ugly that if they got nuked off the face of the planet tomorrow, nobody but the clinically insane would miss them. South Dakota, however, was beautiful. I actually took this at a rest stop on I-something or other.
This is the sign on the way into Thak's hometown. I actually took this as we were leaving, not that it makes a difference. It's ALWAYS dark up there. It starts getting dark about 3 pm, so you're almost never going to have a chance to take picture when it's NOT dark out. Anyhow, that is a boat on top of the sign because the Lund boat factory is literally the ONLY thing in that town, and most of the town's 1000 something residents (most of whom are related) work there, or did at some point.
The first day we woke up in Minnesota, Erin saw the snow, and was thrilled!! That's more snow than we had in Texas!!
And Frank thought it was a good idea to terrorize the cat at Lapene's house. That was actually NOT one of his better ideas, as you can probably imagine, judging by the size of the cat!
