Vacation Anyone?!

We want to take a summer vacation and so my suggestion was let's go to South Dakota...I mean isn't that the first idea that pops into everyones mind when they think of vacation? Or maybe it's the 10 million times I saw the "Great Places, Great Faces...South Dakota" commercial and dreamt of the jingle.

So I did the most rational thing anyone would do that wants to go to SD. I ordered a massive tourist magazine from their tourism bureau..(I'm not joking when I say this thing is massive). And what comes with a massive tourism guide, too many darn decisions on where to go, what we "must see" and how to map this out in a four day trip with two kids and the hubs.

I am sure there are the "must see" places...Mount Rushmore...Mount Rushmore...black hills and a cave oh and the carhenge thing...is that even in SD? But we haven't decided which of the 18 different "caves/gold mining" locations we actually want to go to. 

I actually hit a roadblock with exploring earlier and started looking at Hawaii (not going this year but it was a thought that crossed my mind). So back to the planning pages we will go...

Earlier we took a great weekend getaway to KC (of course we did WOF/OFF) it was great. I want to make sure the squishies get to travel to see the country because I did not have that growing up...that is what has led me to SD...

I have three weeks before we depart so hopefully we will have this trip planner tool completed before then or we might just aimlessly drive around and visit all the rest stops in Western Nebraska...Giddy up!
