Saturday, 10 June, Sioux Falls, SD

Got up this morning and it was super windy.  What's up with this.  I hate the wind and it is really howling.
Rob made a tee time for this morning.  He said he would bail, but it is already paid for.  I said paid or not, I am not going.  He said, "you don't mind if I go do you?".  Of course not.  I played on the computer for a little while and then was going to take a shower and go down to the Falls Park to the Farmer's Market.  I was still playing on the computer when Rob called and said, "this is ridiculous, the wind is howling."  He was able to get a rain check.  Not for the course, but for the Tee times. com or wherever. Anyway, he was coming back.  So, I changed real quick.
When he got back we went together down to the the Farmer's market.  It was nice.  Mostly plants and bakery stuff.  I ended up buying two tomato plants and 3 three jars of jams.  
We put the stuff in the car and then walked around the park.  We went to the visitor center and climbed up to the top of the tower (5 stories).  And checked out the view
The pavilion off in the distance is where the farmers market is being held.  The building closest to us is the Ag museum.  We didn't go in there.



This picture above is the old power house. Now it is converted into a cafe.


While inside the visitor we checked on a sculpture walking trail.  Every couple months all the sculptures are replaced.  They are all on display and available for sale.  So we decided to walk down town to check them out.
We continued through the park to get there.

 It looks like this buffalo is sniffing Bella and she is not thrilled about it.
And continued along the falls and the river.

 Eventually we got into town.  It was really hot, so Rob was perfectly willing to pop into various shops to take advantage of their air conditioning.

We continued through town and eventually got to the sculptures.  They weren't especially impressive and we were hot.  
Rob did like this one though

 This one was pretty cool as well, all the cutouts are fish.
And of course this one is called; "Let's Play"!
We Popped into one of the breweries and had a flight of beers.  That way I don't have to have a whole one and I can taste all the ones that Rob selects.  There were 4 of them.  Only two of them we really liked.  The other two were OK.  We talked about going to a movie, but in the end decided just to go home and chill.  So we did.  
We were going to watch a movie but realized the NBA playoffs were on.  Golden State Warriors were sweeping the finals.  If they win tonight they will have swept the playoffs and the championship and that has never happened before.  Last year they were undefeated for the entire season, as well as the play offs, but then lost in the finals.  It was sad. This year they were not undefeated in the season, but have been throughout the play offs and won the first three games of the championship.  If they win tonight they are the champs and the first to sweep these games.
Unfortunately,  they lost miserably.  It was almost like who are these guys and what happened to the Warriors?
I was actually really tired and went to bed before the game was over.
