WEEKEND GETAWAY

Last weekend Brad was suppose to take a test but the proctor didn't show up. To make a long story short we decided we needed to get out and do something. We listed our options put them on little sticky notes and drew from a hat. We ended up driving 4 hours to see this.


It was off season but since the weather had been holding there were still plenty of places that stayed open and lots to see. It was a little cold so we had to turn Maven into the cookie monster.


We went up to Mount Rushmore monument and got pictures with our state flags.

Charlsie-IDAHO, Brad-UTAH and Maven-WYOMING


We walked the boardwalk in Keystone, South Dakota and got ourselves a lot of old fashioned taffy and fudge.


We enjoyed the beautiful sights. This includes accidentally taking the scenic loop through the black hills. There are some very interesting roads and tunnels.


We loved every second of it, but there is so much more we would like to see that we didn't have a chance and a few places that were closed since it was off season. So if anyone would like to join us next spring we are planning on returning. Maybe Maven will do more than just sleep next time.
