Friday – Post 1 of 2: Drivers Licenses & Storybook Island (Americas Mailbox, Box Elder SD)

Authors note: It was a busy Friday – I split this post up into two separate entries due to lots of pictures and unrelated subject matter.  This is Post 1 of 2:


Our first stop on Friday was the SD Drivers License Bureau in Rapid City.

We are now officially South Dakota residents!  It was quick-in and quick-out… with no line to speak of.  The hardest part was filling out the form.  We showed two forms of ID, looked in the eye exam machine, and took new pictures.  We were even able to get our motorcycle endorsements with no fuss.

Then we drove over to the nearby Elks Lodge to check out the RV sites.  They have nice sites for $25 located right next to the golf course, but they didn’t have any openings until Sunday.  We decided to wait and check out the FamCamp on nearby Ellsworth AFB later for availability and rates.

So then we checked our iPhone apps for nearby attractions and found Storybook Island which is a free (donations accepted) children’s theme park that our grandson Kaan would really enjoy.  Stilla took lots of pictures – so for her, and our daughter Jennifer’s benefit… here are a bunch of grandson pics (below):
