Memorial Weekend - Day 4
Day 1, Day 2, Day 2 Part Deux, Day 3
Day 4 was another rainy day, with cold temps. added in! But, with my family there is never a dull moment
We met G’ma and G’pa in the hotel parking lot and drove through Bear Country. It’s expensive, but it’s fun to see the bears . . . and we’d really done well not spending money up until then, so we went for it. We saw Elk, beautiful white wolves, reindeer, mountain goats, timberwolves, and of course bears, bears, and more bears! We even got to see 5 timberwolves congregate on top of a hill and then rush a bear and chase it around!
After that, we headed to the hotel for some MUCH needed naps. Then we all met up again and played games and had drinks and dinner in the common room at the hotel. There weren’t really any other people in the hotel since most of them had gone home since it was Memorial Day, so we had the place to ourselves. We played games for hours and laughed and had a great time. It was definitely a great ending to the vacation - just spending time with the family before we all went our separate ways.















Ok I had no idea there was so much to do around Rapid City. I thought it was all about Mt. Rushmore!
There is a TON of stuff to do in Rapid City! And it doesn’t have to cost a fortune, either . . . which is really cool
It’s actually a great family vacation spot.
