Midwest Roadtrip 2022: Day 5/9

Hotel Life

Jeremy and I woke up and had the same hotel breakfast as the day prior. We returned to our room after eating, and I signed into work for the day. Jeremy left to do some shopping.

Sioux Falls

Jeremy came back to the hotel after a while, and I signed off for lunch. We decided to go see Sioux Falls - the actual waterfall.

It's right in the heart of downtown Sioux Falls (the town). We clambered around the rocky shore of Big Sioux River to get different views of the waterfall itself.

It didn't take us long to view the waterfalls, so we headed over to Josiah's for coffee. Jeremy got his iced macchiato and I got a vanilla latté. We also purchased a bag of dog treats called "Mount Ruffmore" for our dogs, and we each got a pastry. Jeremy got a caramel roll, and I got a lemon poppyseed coffee cake. We really enjoyed the drinks, food, and overall vibes of Josiah's.

We still had some time , so we went down to Child's Play Toys and bought a new copy of the game Cascadia to gift to Justin and Amelia. We also went down to Mrs. Murphy's Irish Gifts where I bought myself a wool sweater. We also picked up a few other gifts for friends and family.

​We returned to the hotel where I finished out my work day, and Jeremy left to go check out a few more stores to pass the time.

I finished out my work day, and Jeremy came back from shopping.

Justin had also finished his work day, so we all decided to meet for dinner at Look's Market Place. They had, by far, the best cheese curds found on this trip, and they know what's up because they served them with ranch dressing. Justin got a spicy fried chicken sandwich, Jeremy got a sandwich called the Porkules (like Hercules), and I got a chicken bacon ranch sandwich. Justin and Jeremy enjoyed sipping on pints of a local beer called 15 Minutes.

After dinner, we walked out to our cars where we gifted him Cascadia and said our goodbyes. It was so wonderful to be able to visit with Justin. We wish we could have seen Amelia too, but that just means we will have to make another trip up there!

Justin went home. Jeremy wanted to show me a few of the stores he had been to earlier that day, so we went to Rainbow Comics and Last Stop CD Shop. We ended up purchasing a few collectibles.

We then returned to our hotel, and went to bed.
