jeff and doug and i headed west for andy and amanda's wedding

we began the trip roughly at Nye's Pollonaise in Minneapolis

this is why minneapolis is great

because you can eat brunch at the bowling alley! here's josh.

here are robert and doug

here are the bowling shoes

a sinclair station in young america, minnesota

abandoned restaurant somewhere on US 212, south dakota

field of lincolns somewhere on US 212, south dakota

lovely 212 sunset (minutes before i got a speeding ticket)

the official redfield, SD pheasant statue

al joined us in south dakota for a meal at leo's "good food you can bank on"

('cos it used to be a bank, get it? this is the salad bar vault!)

homemade cinnamon rolls and non-dairy creamer were the style in redfield

as was running into all your friends from "the east" while downtown to buy socks for your wedding

dakota growers had some picturesque grain implements

these towers were very photogenic

proof that i went to south dakota

later, after the wedding, allenn relaxed for a little while in our room

so i could wake him up early for breakfast at sak's!
