South Dakota
Sharmin and I drove to South Dakota for her fall Break. Her sister lives there, and Sharmin's mom was visiting as well, so it was a good occasion for her to see her family. The trip was long, about eight hours from Urbana, and we drove across all of the state of Iowa. We made this trip before, so we were used to the general feel of it. This time of the year, though, one needs to be very careful about the weather, because it can affect traveling in a significant way.
