Monday, July 7, 2008 It's 9 in the morning and beautiful out. We had just finished driving all night just to get to a place called The Badlands - a place that neither of us had ever really heard of. What a pleasant surprise it turned out to be; well, other than the $15 entrance fee.

Yes, Jen should have been a model!
Fantastic pictures. You have now saved me the $15 should I ever be in that part of the country. This was kind of like our trip to Oahu for spring break. Jay really wanted to go to Pearl Harbor, but I told him I saw it on the Brady Bunch. In the end, I was glad that we spent the better part of the day (yes, that is how long it took because in my effort to be "green", I made us take the bus!) going to see it as it was very moving. While you both are exploring new sites, I have been teaching an SEI class and getting my room ready for August 11. Somehow I don't think I am having quite as much fun. Off to do some tedious errands and hit the gym. Are you headed to the Pacific Coast yet? I am really excited to see those pictures!. They have a bunch of wineries in Oregon, so you could probably do some more free drinking!

You only live once!
Sounds like you are having a great time! Have you expended all of the music on your IPods yet? and are you getting pretty sick of the same car games? I hope that you have a good time touring the west coast and sure that you will find some more entertaining and overpriced places to see on the way but what the hell, you only are going to do this once! Have a great trip to Northern Cal or where ever you are going! Lacey
