hello!

Well, we finally made it to California! I am wayyyyy over-due on my postings so there is a lot to catch up on. For starters... I am now Briana Gawboy! Our wedding was amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better day. (Photos to come). We left MN 4 days after our wedding and started our roadtrip out to the West Coast. We made tons of stops and got to experience some really cool places.
Day 1: Minnesota to Rapid City, SD
The first day was terrible! Soooo much driving through such a boring area.. There were a lot of fields, and every now and then we would see a hill!! amazing, I know. We kept seeing billboards for THE CORN PALACE. So, mistakenly we decided to stop and see what it was all about. Let me tell you, its a whole lot of nothing.. I would never go there again haha. After the corn palace we got back on the road and made it to Wall Drug, the first place in the U.S. to give out free ice water! It was very cool there. It had a very nice western feel and there was lots to see. We have dinner at a little diner in the Wall Drug strip mall and then we headed to Rapid City. To our suprise we got offered a suite at our first hotel for the same price as a regular room. That was a nice treat after a long day of driving!










Thats about it for the drive from Minnesota to South Dakota.

ROADTRIP TO BE CONTINUED...
