So last friday me and my sister took a trip to Lake Okoboji, Iowa. It was an end of the summer day trip approx. 1 1/2 hours from sioux falls. The day was kind of overcast and a bit cooler. Though this was not the exact weather we preferred it was quite enjoyable. We looked through the little shops around the lake, ate lunch at The Godfather's pizza, and laid out in the sand. There were boats, jet skiis, and para sailors out for the day. I really would love to para-sail some day! We ate funnel cake and ice-cream, and almost went to the rock and roll museum.....but it was a$1.00 admission and it looks kinda dinky inside. We actually got in the water, though my sister was screaming the whole time, 'Aahhh its cold!' lol. There was an art museum we wanted to go to on our way out, but it started raining around 5 and we decided to head back home. Eating pizza in a place that is known for its seafood resturants may have been not as exciting but it was definitely a money saver. We ordered a large pizza for $15 and had plenty of left overs (which the rest of my family quickly consumed on our arrival home). As we headed back to sioux falls, the rain started to clear. Downtown looked pretty lively, and we considered parking by Falls park and walking there....but then it started to sprinkle again. One thing about black women, perm or no perm, we prefer to stay as dry as possible unless of course we are swimming in the Carribean or Mediterrean perhaps. So, our last stop was to A&W were we started a rootbeer and the rest of our pizza (yea i know thats getto). Thus ended our day. To our dismay the next day was sunny and warm.....a perfect day for the lake....ugghhh. O well! lol
