Vacation Day #2

Well, day #2 finds us at the KOA campground in Sioux Falls, SD. We went to Day Out With Thomas this morning, arrived around 11AM. We had been promised there was ample parking for the camper, but they lied! We ended up parking a mile down the road from the train station at a wayside, and walking. Whew. The kids had a lot of fun though, we had our ride on Thomas at 1230, ate lunch, played for awhile, and then hit the road (after the mile walk back to the camper, haha! Of course on our way back to the camper, the train was right beside us, so it made the walk a lot more fun...even if we did feel like we were on exhibit, all of the kids kept waving to us...Amaya and Noah were walking and waving for the entire mile!)

The drive to Sioux Falls took about five hours. Traveling in the RV is slower than traveling in a car, but a lot more comfortable. I mean, while Pavan was driving down the road, I was able to use the restroom, turn on the bathroom light to wash my hands and comb my hair! Unbelievable. If I wanted to make lunch, all I have to do it turn on the generator for a minute and pop something in the microwave. It's just strange.

Right now the kids are playing on the playground, which is right outside our camper. Tomorrow we will call a taxi to take us to Falls Park. From there we can ride a free trolley to everything we want to see. Tomorrow night is a laser lights show at Falls Park, should be very cool!

Check out this link...this is Falls Park.
