A Trip into the Past

*these lovely ones are from a recent trip to Sioux Falls South Dakota... they are absolutely breathtaking and I really was upset to find that I had missed the open houses down there by a week..YES, they let you walk through these old girls and see how beautiful they are inside and out... and IMISSED it. SO not fair. I figured that if I had gone 23+hours down there to see them, that , REALLY, they should just let me see the inside when I got there, open house or not.... apparently they did not feel the same way. And no, I didn't go door to door begging to see the insides of these pieces of history....though perhaps I should have...instead I simply looked and clicked away with my trusty camera...and had to leave unfulfilled .... :(
