impromptu road trip to sioux city

John and I had taken last Monday off as we were needing a longer weekend. We didn't have a total plan of what we would do but thought a state park trip day trip would be nice. Last Sunday I awoke to John maddly googling and search the internet. Want to go to Sioux City he asked? Its only a 4 1/2 hour drive?
Now if you know me well you will know that at any suggustion of travel I am all in. I love to go new places! YES I said and i went to pack my bags. We found a nice hotwire hotel and loaded into the car an hour later.

We made a wrong turn because of some construction and ended up in South Dakota. Were the state was full of casinos.

Beautiful natural prairies at stone state park

We leraned how beautiful and rolling the hills of Western Iowa really are.

Cool clouds + drying corn + blue skys = lots of cool fun and intresting pictures

What a great trip. Made even  more fun by the lack of planning and being able to just go do instead of doing a lot of planning. Thanks for thinking of this John!
