Road Trip: Day 9


Although we were excited to be seeing something different and still on vacation; the vacation was getting a little long. Especially with only an hour of sleep the night before.  It was rainy when we arrived in the Black Hills (the only other day it rained was the day we arrived at Nate and Abby's).  So, we started off by visiting Jewel Cave.  We took an elevator down many feet to get into the cold cave of jewels and it was very fun to see!  A quick trip here and then off to check in at our cabin.  







We rented a cabin at a campground.  The cabin was very small and had four beds, a table and a porch.  It was perfect for us! The boys really enjoyed their bunk beds and it was so nice to sleep that night, especially since we were not in the car.



Although we did not enjoy sleeping in the car, it was still fun to ride around in the car to see the animals, neat rock formations and other scenery.









We took a minute to stop and look around at one of the Mount Rushmore viewing areas.  






We decided that since we could see it from the road, we were not going to pay a bunch of money to get into Mount Rushmore or Crazy Horse.  Each place had a parking and an entrance fee.  We were happy with what we saw.







That evening we went to Keystone to walk through the shops and get some dinner.  We had a great night as a family laughing and walking around before going to bed.
