Good Knight: Part 3 of 3

Our saga continues with our fateful couple racing the sun itself through the nation’s breaad basket. Just in the nick of time they arrive in Mitchell, South Dakota, home of the Corn Palace, and… that's probably about it. But when you have a delicious golden temple, what else does a town need. Little did gimpy leg McGee (that would be Justin) know he had brought his Persian princess to the palace on the same day that Renaissance man, Kenny Rogers was in town performing. Timing in life is everything. It was an absolute madhouse - the town actually built a fair around the event, overstocked with what else, corn products. Bellies full with America's staple crop; they left happy and humming Lucille.

Tired and road-worn our heroes rolled into Sioux Falls looking to recharge. With Justin driving, Yasmine had been on the phone attempting to lock down some super cheap accommodations. ""Found it," she exclaimed! First they passed the downtown area and headed for the airport. Then, past the airport into a more "rustic" part of town, they came to Russell Street and searched for their lodgings but they were nowhere to be seen. Something was wrong, had the Garmin failed them, yet again. Stopped at the destination flag clearly marked on the GPS there was no Super 8, no massive red and blue glowing signage, only a ramshackled building labeled Knights Inn. Gingerly and a bit reluctant, the two walked in. Well, actually only Justin did because they had found the lowest price by claiming that it was only one traveler in need of a room for the night. Oops, silly kids.

After the so called caretaker explained the name mix-up and their lack of a continental breakfast, due to “renovations", Justin walked out, key in-hand and headed to the back entrance to sneak his partner in crime into their classy basement suite. It wasn't gross as much as it was sketchy. The kind of place that Mahvash (Yasi's mama) would not approve of. As the guilty couple left the next morning, sneaking out the front, where the car was thankfully still parked, Yasmine remarked on the hotel's slogan, "Spend your days out and your Knights Inn".

They couldn’t have agreed more, as they peeled out of the parking lot with a course set for Minnesota. It appeared our nosey duo would live to see another state and maybe, just maybe, get the blog updated. But there was still much road to cover.

Until next time friends…

A palace indeed.

Just some casual corn eating kids.

Apparently corn gets stoned?

Afraid that the camera would get stolen, we are photo less.
