Such a fun week! Paige flew in on 8/25, and only left yesterday, 9/2. We had a fun week, and we spent a couple of days driving through the hills. I hadn't done any exploring yet this summer, so it was really nice to be able to show her around.
We did Mt. Rushmore, Iron Mountain Road, the Wildlife Loop, Needles Highway, Deadwood, Lead, Spearfish Canyon - and even had lunch at Guadalahara in Spearfish.
I'm so glad she was here, I really think it was good for both of us. She even put up with sleeping on the horrible jackknife sofa - I got a mattress topper but I think she was only being polite when she said it was ok to sleep on.

We saw a ton of Bison, some Pronghorns, wild Burros, and some prairie dogs |

She said she got chills as we were walking toward Mt. Rushmore |
