Today Tom and I set out on a new and long overdue adventure – discovering the Great American Northwest!
But before I get started, let me give you a bit of background info. Our beautiful, multitalented daughter Traci, works for White Swan and sells scrubs for a living, Her territory is vast, covering 13 states in the Midwest and Northwest areas of the US. She invited us to travel along on the northwest loop of her territory. Tom and I have traveled extensively, but have sadly neglected this incredibly magnificent area of our own country, so we delightedly agreed.
Leaving Kansas City on the 29th, we headed toward Nebraska. We spent the next day crossing Nebraska, making sales calls and thoroughly enjoying Traci’s company as well as the beautiful scenery.
After completing business in Nebraska, we headed toward South Dakota. Along the way, Traci introduced us to her new hobby of Geocaching – great fun and a way to see wonderful areas that we would otherwise miss.
After a long day of driving, with a little geocaching along the way, we arrived in the charming city of Grand Rapids, South Dakota where we would spend the next few days.
