Our last few days in Custer State Park went by way too fast! Stugis, Deadwood, wildlife loop, mine tour, Wind cave tour, Hot Springs and amazing views from the top of the Mount Coolidge Fire tower!

There is so much to do in the Black Hills. We definitely didn't see it all.

03/08/2022

Our first few days in Custer State Park have been amazing! The views, the exploring....all of it!

02/08/2022

We have arrived in Custer State Park for the week! 100 degrees here today! Glad we have AC in the cabin!

We stopped in the Badlands for some amazing views on the drive today.

Now it's time to relax and grill some dinner!

31/07/2022

The Reed family is back on the road for another road trip. The Black Hills are calling and we must go. Up first is obviously a stop at the World's Largest Candy Store! Loving the new art here! Stay tuned for more travel adventures.

Today we had a chance to explore the Anaheim and LA area. We ended up driving right into the Red Hot Chili Peppers Hollywood walk of fame star dedication! That was a fun surprise! Then we walked up and down the walk of fame, saw the Chinese Theatre, the El Capitan and the Dolby Theatre. We then decided to drive up to the Griffith Observatory and took in the sights, including the Hollywood sign. It was overcast, but still amazing! Then we drove over to see the Rose Bowl and attempted to see the Dodgers Stadium. Unfortunately due to construction for an upcoming game, we were unable to stop and see the Stadium. :( Tomorrow we begin the journey back home! California, we will be back!

31/03/2022

Another long, but awesome day! Started out at California Adventure park with tons of rides! Then headed over to Disneyland for a few more rides. Grabbed some dinner, more rides and ended the night back over at California Adventure. We are exhausted and ready to sleep in tomorrow!

Disneyland has been wonderful and we can't wait to be back soon! (Maybe when it's slightly warmer 😉)

30/03/2022

Today was originally planned as just Disneyland, but we ended up heading over to California Adventure for a few hours before ending our night back at Disneyland. We used Genie + for our entire day and had an amazing time! We are all tired and trying to rest before our last park day tomorrow.

29/03/2022

Our last day of driving (until the return trip). Headed out of Vegas after waking up 2 sleepy heads, drove through endless ghost towns to finally arrive in Anaheim. We checked into the Castle Inn and Suites, which is really great BTW! We were lucky enough to get an upgrade to a suite which looks directly at the back of the Guardians of the Galaxy ride. Not too bad! Also only 15 mins from hotel door to inside security at downtown Disney! Highly recommend!

28/03/2022

Another day of driving. Began bright an early out of Golden Colorado. The mountain views were breathtaking! Drove through Utah and right on into Las Vegas. A quick walk down the strip with dinner at In n Out Burger and back to the hotel for some sleep. Tomorrow some more exploring around Vegas and then finishing up our journey into Anaheim California.

What a day!

26/03/2022

What a day! Began bright and early in Souix Falls, SD. Drove through Nebraska and ended up in Golden Colorado for the night. Had some time to drive around and see Coors Field and Empower (Mile High) Stadium before checking into our hotel. Now enjoying some dinner before an early bedtime and more driving tomorrow!

25/03/2022

And we're off!!

I'm sure you all think we are crazy for road tripping with these gas prices.....well, with everything we did in the past 2 weeks to build a vacation fund, it's not a problem!
