Home Sweet Home

This is a video of Sturgis as we were leaving Friday Night. I just thought you might like to see what is was like. We left early Saturday morning after a pitiful continental breakfast at the hotel we stayed at. It consisted of bread,a few thawed out mini muffins, and coffee and orange juice. I must say it was the weekest continental breakfast I had ever seen. Bike was packed and we were off, in weather that quickly turned to the 90's again. We didn't stop to eat until after 3 which made for a long, long trip. It started to rain about a half hour after leaving Souix Falls and we parked under an overpass with about 15 other bikers. After about 15 minutes Tim decided it was time to go. The rain stopped after a few miles and with it came cooler temperatures. We rode on until about 9pm. Which made me a little more than irratable, ok I was downright crabby and tired. It took about 4 tries to find a hotel but we did find one. It was pretty nice, but the best part was the all you can eat breakfast for 6.50. Boy did we eat! Then on to Tim sister Sandy's house, well it's more of a ranch. With lots of land and horses. It was really nice since Tim hasn't seen her for a few years. Sandy, it was was nice to meet you finally! You're everything that Tim said you were. (Tims only said great things about you). We stopped in LaCrosse for dinner at an all you can eat steak place and we ate well again! Breakfast at 9, dinner at 6. Pretty much we only had two meals a day for the whole trip. We were on the road so much there was never much time to eat. We arrived home around 9:30 pm. We were both exhausted from the long ride home. The best part of coming home? Our bed. After so many hotel beds our soft bed felt to good we both fell asleep almost instantly...then.....Tommy our cat...decided we shouldn't sleep and kept scratching at the door and meowing all night long! Even after much yelling, and pushing out of the way by me...he kept up his little antic all night long... Back to work tomorrow so hopefully Tommy will let me sleep tonight.Looking back..alot of this blog was about food... I guess after so many miles traveled and only two meals a day..it was something to look forward too. :)
