Saturday morning we got up and actually made it out of the hotel by 9:00 am. Yay us! We started our drive with the thought of stopping in Gillette in the back of our minds. Then when we got to Gillette, we stopped for dinner {at a Subway that had a DRIVE THRU!...it doesn't take much to impress me} and decided that we could probably make it to Spearfish. Well...we made it to Spearfish and there were no rooms available. Then we made it to Sturgis and there were no rooms available. Then on the way to Rapid City we called every hotel in the area and got the very last room at the Ramada (sad day...but at least it was a room).
Today was a great day. We woke up and grabbed some Starbucks for breakfast (a big thanks to my SMM families for that!). Then we headed over to Mount Rushmore. My mom had never been and I was really excited to take her and C. We ended up walking the half mile around the Presidential Trail. It had 450 stairs...yikes! C bought herself a flat penny. She was so excited! Then we hopped back in the car and headed toward Sioux Falls. On the way we stopped at Wall Drug and took a brief walk through. Now we have made it to Sioux Falls, South Dakota and I would highly recommend the Homewood Suites- wonderful and clean suites, pet friendly and very nice and helpful staff!
Tomorrow we will get to see some familiar faces! I can't wait!
My Darling Daughter took the next two pics.
Mom took a pic of me taking a pic of C.
