South Dakota

Over Memorial Day weekend we took a few days and "toured" the state of South Dakota. We originally planned to just go for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary but plans changed and we ended up taking a week and being able to make it work to see all of our family. It was a lot of driving and super tiring but more than worth it to see everyone. We had such a great time.

We started out our trip by driving to Spearfish to my parents house on Wed night. We spent Thursday with my parents and John's grandparents.

We spent Friday with John's siblings (Wendy, Todd & Tracy). It was so great to see them!

Saturday we got up early and headed to Pierre to see John's parents. We stopped in Rapid City to have breakfast with my friend Jess and her adorable kiddos. We spent the night with John's parents and had a great time catching up with them.

We got up on Sunday morning and headed to Chamberlain for my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary party. We spent the night with them and originally planned on staying there until Tuesday but plans changed when one of our friends' dad died so we headed back to Spearfish on Monday for the memorial service and for the funeral on Tuesday. We didn't leave Spearfish until 7:00pm which made for a late night of driving, lucky for us Taylor slept the entire way which was nice but we were definitely tired. It was great to be home and it took a few days for us to recover from our vacation but so worth it being able to see so many people in so few days.
