  • Wall Drug

    Stopping at Wall Drug is a must if you are in South Dakota. I had never been before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. When we arrived, immediately I felt overwhelmed.

    On our trip through South Dakota, we stumbled across an adorable old fashioned candy store. The Custer County Candy Company is located in Custer just a 15 minuted drive from Wind Cave National Park. It’s right off the main drag, tucked back just a little ways off the street.

  • Crazy Horse

    South Dakota is steeped in history, it’s one of the main reasons I chose to take the kids here for MEA break. After visiting Mount Rushmore  we headed over to Crazy Horse.

Royal Flush Cocktail

We are in full swing for summer! Warmer weather, family get-togethers, and evenings with friends all lead to needing to up our refreshment game. The Royal Flush Cocktail is a refreshing cocktail made with cranberry juice, Crown Royal, Peach Schnapps, and Raspberry Liquor giving it a subtle tartness.  One reason I LOVE this cocktail is I love all things with Chambord in it. I feel like it takes several mixed drinks to the next level. If you have never had Chambord (raspberry liquor) you are in ...

Well, I have the backstory and I'm going to share it with you all. Back in 2018, Delia Owens published her ...
