Long weekend getaway

We got home late last night. Went on a road trip with 2 other families. We left Omaha around 5am last Friday and headed to Carhenge in Alliance, Nebraska.

As we were driving out West, the rising sun was catching up on us love

We arrived at our rental place in South Dakota and decided we were too tired to be doing anything else for the rest of the evening. We tweaked our itinerary a bit. We played several rounds of UNO, had dinner and called it a day.


Deadwood

Windcave National Park

We had a late start-out the 3rd day and by the time we got there, all the tours were sold out. They were sold out by 11am and we got there just after 11.30am mumbling

After the museum, we had lunch at Chicago Street Cafe! A hole in the wall. Didn’t have any choice coz all the other restaurants in this small town were closed ( Labor Day weekend ). It’s a cafe that operates as a pawn shop or is it the other way round? Spoke to the owner who’s from the Lakota tribe and I asked her so many questions coz I was really intrigued by her.

Before taking our orders, the waitress ( only one there ) warned us that we might have to wait for at least 45mins for our food coz there were only one cook. I immediately asked her to get me an apron so that I could help the cook out! Luckily for my friends and family, the waitress didn’t take me seriously rolling on the floor laughing
