Its my goal to eventually visit all 50 states. I'll have to bookmark this for when I visit South Dakota!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I've never been to South Dakota...I even have some family there...I should visit! I'd love to see Mt. Rushmore & Bedrock City too - sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteI have visited every state except for Alaska, South Carolina, and the Dakotas. Now I'll know what to do when I finally make it to SD!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I did a cross country trip about 12 years ago. We drove out (from PA) to South Dakota and visited Mount Rushmore and the Badlands. We also went to Yellowstone- so awesome! Then we drove the Pacific Coast Highway and went to the Grand Canyon. It was quite an adventure! We are looking forawrd to take our two kids to Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone. I would rather make it a road trip (from Maryland), rather than fly. My kids are 5 and 7. I just need some activities for them on such a long trip. I can only play the alphabet and license plate games for so long.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! You should check out Trekaroo -- chock full of ideas, itineraries and reviews! We use it all the time for trip planning! What a fun trip you took -- that's a LOT of miles!
