Days 7 and 8

I took no pictures days 7 or 8.  They mostly involved just getting to our destinations.  We traveled from Co Springs to Deadwood on day 7.  Had our picnic in Cheyenne, WY and spent some time on the playground.  There was an old steam locomotive there.  It was cool and rainy when we got to Deadwood.  We found a burger place (Eric must have bacon burgers.....).  Then, we left the kids all alone in the hotel room so we could gamble a bit in the casino in our hotel.  It took us 20 minutes or so to lose $35 before heading back to the room.  Day 8, we drove home to Mandan.
It was  a great trip!  Kids did great with the long days of traveling and touring.  Saw lots of beautiful scenery.  That being said, I missed the farmland of North Dakota, and the clean towns and roadways!
We always talk about next summer's vacation on our drive home.  I think it will be another cruise....a vacation where we just show up and don't have to plan anything, or load/unload a vehicle every day!
