Our trip continues!
On Wednesday night, after the long drive through Minnesota and South Dakota, we reached Hill City in the Black Hills and stayed at the Super 8 there. When we got there, we hit the pool right away!

| Ready to head down to the pool! (No, we didn't bring Drake) |

| In the pool - probably one of my favorite photos of us ever. |
 |
| Hot Tub! |
It was great to relax a little after that long drive. We stayed the night at the Super 8, had breakfast the next morning, and headed for Mt. Rushmore!

Thursday night, we stayed at another Super 8 in Cody, Wyoming; Cody is named for Buffalo Bill Cody, legend of the old West! We went out for dinner at Buffalo Bill's Restaurant at the historic Irma Hotel. It was amazing! The hotel was stunning - a completely preserved interior - and the food was incredible. We each had a Buffalo Bill beer, prime rib, twice baked potato, and salad bar, and our bill was under $40. So not only was it a fantastic meal in a historic & beautiful place, it was also the best deal we've ever found on a date!

 |
| We may like them cooked totally different, but we agreed it was the best prime we'd ever had! |
 |
| lubblesyous |
 |
| Proof of the outrageously good deal dinner was! |
 |
| Full & happy. |
 |
| Having a blast!!! |
Well, that takes us through Thursday night. I'll pick up on Friday morning in the next post, when we head to Montana!
