Default Fun time in Sioux Falls

We left yesterday and came back today. Was a great time, we stayed at the Sioux Falls Ramkota Hotel. It's a really nice hotel and they have an indoor water-park area for the kids complete with slides and water cannons. A little pricey at $250 a night, but with 6 of us we needed the big suite.

Besides regular shopping, I made a stop at Garry's Gun Shop and came out of there an hour later $1100 poorer. Bought me a Sig Sauer P238, holster and ammo. Also got a Remington 870 home defense shotgun. The wife took it surprisingly well.

We also came home with "Jake". He is a 6 week old English Springer Spaniel and he is mighty cute!

Will post some pictures once I find my camera.

The last time I was "home", I left Gary's a little lighter in the back pocket also. I left with a Kimber Stainless Pro Carry II and a bunch of boolets to go with it. Wish I'd thought about a shotgun.

for a minute there I thought you may have bought the 870 youth I traded in on my supermag.
I'll be at the Ramkota this coming weekend, they have a gun show and I'm looking for a .223

that water park is fun and the suite is nice too. we stayed there a couple years ago for free. Sanford Hospital paid for everything including room service and meals for my family.

I have to work this weekend or else I would go. Not that I have any money left for another gun, but still would be fun to walk around and BS with people.
