So... May 26, 2012 we were off on our first South Dakota adventure!
(World's ONLY) Corn Palace
Mitchell, SD
Mitchell is about an hour west of Sioux Falls, so we knew this would be a great day trip. Truly, the only thing I knew about Mitchell was that they had a show choir (or at least they did when I was in high school... I am not sure if they even have one anymore) so I was looking forward to seeing what this "so called" Palace was all about.
This Corn Palace is literally right in the middle of town! Crazy! Driving down the streets of Downtown Mitchell and then you see... THIS! A Palace...made out of corn!
The Corn Palace has been in existence since 1892!
AND
They change the design of the palace every year!
(you will see a couple other designs as you check out the pictures)
(I promise I do brush his hair... but it is a lost cause)

I took this picture for the 'rents

It really was a very fun day! The weather wasn't the best, but at least we were able to enjoy our mini trip and do a little exploring.
