It's been quite a while since the days of "you've got mail" and that terrible screeching sound that my kids have never heard except in the movie, You've Got Mail. We have Wi-Fi in this joint but it is worse than dial-up at times. I needed a recipe and it took almost 5 minutes to load the page! Luckily, I had the time. This blog has taken me half a day so far!
Today was just a shopping, waste some time sort of day. We started off with a trip to a rock shop, followed by an art and antique shop that was nice. Then onto the Hungry Horse Dam. At the time of it's completion in 1953, it was the 3rd largest dam in the US. Of course we quoted Vegas Vacation most of the time with the kids shaking their heads, but who can resist a good movie quote, right? This trip has been full of them. If you have know idea what I'm referring too, please go to Youtube.com or rent Vegas Vacation and reference the Hoover Dam scene!
After the dam, we had lunch and then went to a place that has a maze, go carts, bumper boats, and mini-golf. We started with the go-carts, then Tony and Layla did the bumper boats which, and I quote, were the lamest thing ever! Then on to the maze. Tony and Layla against Maya and me. Um, yeah, it was hard! Tony and Layla finished about 20 minutes before Maya and me! We finally had to cheat and ask a staffer for some clues! Almost an hour later, we exited the maze, dazed and confused and tired! After 7 holes of mini-golf cut short because of rain, we came back to the camper to relax, watch movies, do laundry, and figure our path back to home. We have done what we can to get out of here tomorrow at a decent time. Our plan is to drive to Livingstone, Montana, about 6 hours plus stops. We have to come home through Nebraska, and not South Dakota because of Sturgis. The motorcycle mecca is August 2-6 and there is not place to stay within 150 miles.
That is really about it. It's been a pretty low key day. Except for the fact that I think I have a perforated ear drum from some major pressure changes in the mountains yesterday. It's slowly gotten worse, but from my search on the internet, there is not much that can be done except take some ibuprofen and keep it dry. No biggie, just irritating. I already have trouble hearing in my left ear. Now with my right ringing and muffle sounding, it's really irritating!
Looking forward to being home! It's going to be hard to get up early, being that we are two hours behind Indiana time. The girls are going to love that! I think we will be getting up at 8am each morning we are home which will feel like 6am to them!
