Of course we saw Buffalo in South Datoka! They are the neatest creatures, so big and beautiful. When we were on our trip tho, I took our digital camera so now I only have pictures on line. I am not used to this. I am used to seeing pictures in a photo album. I think I like photo albums better. I kinda ran out of laser ink cartridges so the pictures are stuck in my PC for the time being. But one day I will arrange them all and it will be nice to sit on the couch and look thru the albums. I need to do this for DC, and that was 2 years ago !

One of the highlights from our South Dakota trip was this really cool little store we found. It was right out of a Daniel Boone movie! My son just loved it! It made me itchy, sneezy and I had to use some shea butter as soon as I got out of the place. It didnt really smell, but just the thought made my skin crawl.

I am not very good with Dead things. I prefer them alive, warm and breathing. But my son is more of a Camper than I give him credit for. He loved this place ! !

We stayed in the cheapest Motel (dont worry I did lots and lots of research first!) that we could find while in South Dakota; it was in the city of Custer. Nice place, very clean and very quiet, and just down right nice! No pedestal bathtub, but they had such nice bed covers too; looked like home made quilts. I found out a little later that the people that owned the hotel lived in Utah 7 months out of the year! Go figure.

This is picture of my son and his new antique pick; I guess this pick was used in a real Gold Mine!

Its about time I starting sharing some South Dakota pictures. We were there for only a few days, but it was a great trip. We went to see Crazy Horse Monument, and let me say – it was a big let down. $10 per person just to get in and this is all we saw:

Pretty far away, huh. If we wanted to get closer it would have cost $5 more a person. Aint gunna happen. I did not have to use the online life insurance calculator as there was nothing to worry about since we were so stinkin’ far away ! But all in all, it was nice and we did see some nice trees and other rocks that day too, HA !

I have decided that I want to go to Las Vegas this June. The kiddo and I cannot really afford any type of ‘normal’ vacation this year, so he suggested we zip down there for a couple days.
I have been searching on line and Excalibur is the best price and entertainment for Families. The only bad reviews I have read is that there are tons of, I guess you would call them Peddlers, trying to get you to listen to a life insurance quote, or sell you a condo share, or some other product. But they dont really bother me much, I am very good at ignoring people!
The prices start at $44 a nite; not too bad. Compaired to our hotel in NYC last summer, this is a bargain for sure! They have so much kid stuff there now, I am sure our trip would be fun. RollerCoaster, Pool, SpongeBob Ride, Aqariums, Tigers, the list goes on.
We still have a few months to decide, oh – and I would need someone to take care our animals that would be stuck at home . . . any volunteers!? heeheehee
