Step 13: Road Trip!

(I'm cathing up! Sort of...)

Today was road trip day.  We had two destinations in mind.  First was the World's Only Corn Palace.  Oh yes.  There is a Palace in South Dakota, and it is made of Corn.  Your argument is invalid. 

Actually, the Corn Palace isn't really made of corn so much anymore, as it's sided in corn.  The first one was made of Corn, but seeing as they redo it every year, it just became more practical to make a regular building then glue corn to it.  My favorite part is that City Hall is attached to the Corn Palace.  Also, they make a bunch of stupid jokes (I could have said "corny" there, but I took the high road).  Their mascot is "Corn"elius, they have a "Corn"cession Stand...we happened to go on Senior Citizen Day.  Did you know that old people in South Dakota are rather fond of fire engine red hair?  Apparently they are, as BFF got several positive comments on hers.  Anyway, we took a couple pictures then headed off to Stop Two, which was about 2 hours away in Winner, SD. 

SEE, HERE'S THE DEAL:  I'm totes a Nerdfighter (yeah, I said totes, wanna fight about it?), and if you are one too, I needn't say more about WHY I would have gone to Winner, SD.  If you are not then I'll tell you this: Nerdfighter = Term Coined by the Vlogbrothers for Someone Who is Proud of Their Nerdiness.  Vlogbrothers = YouTube Sensations/Real Life Brothers Hank and John Green.  Winner, SD = Geographical Midpoint Between The Brothers Green.  I went for a good reason, but it's supposed to be a sekrit for a bit longer, so I'll keep mum on that.  We took more pictures, ate some McDonald's (it was delicious, and exactly as I remembered it from the last time I had any...two? Three?  Years ago.) then we drove home.  The drive home was...HEE!  We played an EPIC game of Cows. 

To play cows, you must first be on a road trip of at least an hour, but the longer the better.  The trip also needs to go through an area with farms.  Everytime you see cows, you say "Cows." and whoever says it the most wins.  It becomes epic when one of the players *ahem*  Decides that a Dairy Queen sign counts, because Dairy Queen sells Dairy products, which come from cows.  Of course, if that counts, then so does a Burger King sign and so on and so forth, until the other one of you *AHEM* decides to call a herd of sheep as cows.  Hilarity ensues, man.  Trust me.

Anyway, the day was a lot of fun, despite most of it having been spent in a car, and it was also fairly cheap!  Goal-wise it hindered slightly, but I mean, a tank a half of gas and two McValue Meals in exchange for a full day of giggling and fun times?  WORTH IT!
