I hope you’re all having a wonderful spring and had a GREAT weekend. We’re on the road again this week and having a great trip so I will make this VERY quick 😀
The weather has been quite nice until yesterday when we began to encounter rain and a cold front. We were treated with a nice thunderstorm last night and today is on the cool side so I’m back to flannels and many layers.
This doesn’t change much for me unfortunately no matter where we are at 😀 but it has been challenging with hotels and the way they handle breakfast during the pandemic. We’ve encountered everything from nothing, bagged to go continental breakfast, regular serve yourself buffet style (which we opted to stay away from) to room service only.
I did pack a supply of my squeeze pouches though so today is hot water with a splash of green tea and baby food squeeze – apricot peach this morning. It’s also a hotel with room service so hubby will choose something easy – fresh apple slices, hard boiled egg, a danish and coffee.

I’ve downloaded 2 new books to start this week during our trip. RETURN TO SENDER by Jennifer Peel and THE COTTAGE BY THE SEA by Hannah Ellis.
There have been so many favorite photos from the past week, but this one is probably the most poignant. I love the history of why Borglum chose these 4 presidents and I LOVED seeing how much the monument has changed and grown with the addition of the state flags and history since I was here last many years ago.
Some of the most fun were the 40 miles of Burma Shave like billboards for Wall Drugs in Wall, South Dakota. We didn’t stop this trip, but have before and it’s a fun once in a lifetime stop if you’re in the area.

Hello dear Friend!
I’m so happy you’re having a wonderful trip! I loved S.D. too. I had been there when I was a kid (I think like 9 yrs old) and then again as an adult with my family when Aaron was around 4 years old. And the changes and improvements were amazing! I love the badlands too – so very beautiful. Safe travels. Love your pics!
Hope you are having a great trip – great pictures.
Love your pictures -have a great trip and stay safe.
I’ve always wanted to see that monument in person. Hopefully, it’ll be sooner than later. Enjoy your trip!
That’s a great photo, of course I’ve seen all your posts Instagram too. Enjoy your trip! 🙂
Thanks, it’s been good til today when we received bad news and have to turn around and head back 🙁
I loved that area of South Dakota when we went a few years ago so much. Perfect inspiration for this week. Hope you are having safe travels and enjoying your trip. Have a great week!
It’s my favorite part of South Dakota too. Thanks, it’s been good til today when we received bad news and have to turn around and head back
