Back from the Black Hills of South Dakota

Well, we are back from our trip to South Dakota where we camped, hiked and even toured a cave for the first time! We saw Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Custer State Park (absolutely beautiful!), ate bison burgers and too much restaurant food, and met many wonderful South Dakotans. I especially enjoyed camping at the Sylvan Lake campgrounds in Custer State Park. The campsites that we stayed at were gorgeous with plenty of room for us and the kids to explore.
The drive to SD was long, made even longer on the way home by a very sick and uncomfortable 7 year old. Poor W … he was so miserable and the drive home was much too long for him. But now he is fully recovered, albeit a bit tired yet and we are slowly moving back into our routines. It was a wonderful family vacation but it is really nice to be home again. I hope to be able to blog more about it later. South Dakota’s advertising slogan is Great Faces. Great Places. I like that and it certainly lived up to it. More later…
