Collect Memories, not Things
So we were expecting a no-National-Park day, but it turns out the Badlands National Park was right on our path! Jeff was really excited to make a quick pit stop at Wall Drug. This is a famous old pharmacy that used to give away free …
We decided we were going to do the highest quantity of touristy things we could today in Rapid City. The kiddos had endured Mount Rushmore, so today was their turn for fun things. First on the list was Reptile City. This place had some pretty fun …
