EPIC Journey - JB & Cha Cha Head West - Day #2

Day 2 was the BIG day of driving - so we got up early - and got out on the road. . . and our trip was still new - so we stopped as much as we wanted to - and enjoyed the journey!

One of our first stops was this cute tourist trap - called "1880 Town" . . . we didn't take the tour - but I bought postcard stamps, a bunch of postcards, and a cute cute pink plastic lone ranger-type gun/mask set. We decided not to wait in line for gas tho. . .



. . AND . .of course we had to do WALL DRUG. . .which was actually quite fun. It was neat to see all of the bikes in town. We got some yummy fudge, made some sandwiches, hydrated - and took some fun pictures.





Our next stop was somewhere in western SD - and was supposedly the geographic center of the nation. It was cool enough for a stretch of the legs, a few photos, and a nice bathroom break! (And there were real cowgirl photos in the bathroom)




We finally passed into Wyoming . . . and of course I had to get a pic of JB texting or tweeting or whatever she kept doing to keep all of our followers updated during our trip! (I also snapped a pic of the bugg-y car (which actually got much much worse!)





Thirty minutes later - we finally entered Montana. By this time we were really ready to be off the road . . except that the scenery was starting to get really awesome . . so that kept us stimulated!




Could you imagine our luck to find the best deal on a great hotel right down the block from the YUMMIEST home-style meals at Cracker Barrel in Billings! A quick after-dinner swim - and an awesome night's sleep was just what we needed! (oh yeah - except that that stupid hotel hot tub stripped my toe ring - and ruined it! - what the heck?!?!)
