Vacation!






Hello, well once the kids go to bed there isn't much to do in a motel room. We are in Rapid City, SD, referred to as "Rapid" by the locals. We left yesterday at 530 am, got here about 430 pm. We detoured through the Badlands, Wall Drug, and numerous potty stops. Kids were great!

We went to Mt. Rushmore, Bedrock City, and the Needles Highway today. We also went back to Mt. Rushmore this evening to see the lighting ceremony. If you've never been do it!! If we can do it with 4 kids, on a $500 budget you can too! We got a great room, at an incredible price through Expedia.com. Best Western, with pool, continential breakfast including biscusts and gravy, waffles, cereal, muffins, toast, bagels, juice, etc. for $48 a night!! Double beds, fridge, and micro even!!

Tomorrow we are going to Reptile Gardens, do some gold panning, and storybook city. A lot of free things to do, as well as the tourist traps. We are having fun, and a lot of it. Here are some pics, enjoy:
