Squeezed at the Reptile Gardens


Yup, we did it.  Had our wallet squeezed at a bona fide South Dakota tourist trap.  We stopped at the Reptile Gardens on our way out of South Dakota today.  

They have all kinds of snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodiles and spiders on display - they even have a Komodo dragon.



We watched a snake show, saw a king cobra and petted an albino python.  They also had a collection of poisonous tree frogs.   It was a pretty neat place - for a tourist trap.

ACK! The states are all connected on your map! You've made it around the country! Woo hoo for you and your family. Although you still have a few days to go, right? I'm just not ready for your adventure to end.

Oh Susan, you have me laughing! I'm ready for it to end, but yes, we have another week or so and one more state to fill in (Montana). We are going to see Devil's Tower tomorrow (in the rain it looks like) and then we are off to spend a few days in Yellowstone before heading home. It's been an experience, that is for sure! :)

Jake and I have always talked about doing a road trip like this some day. Your blog has given me some great ideas of places to go!

I hope you do it someday Rachel! :)
