  • 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. It’s only about a 15-20 minute drive. Crazy Horse is a privately funded memorial surviving on donations from the public. It’s a shame there is… [Continue Reading]

What is the one beverage that every state fair has across the country? Actually every fair usually has this. Lemonade! Fresh squeezed lemonade.
