To Irishmom and MacyBaby, FYI--my daughter lives in Rapid City (in the Black Hills). She's been there 4 fours now. Therefore, I do get there a few times a year to visit. Although it is a 8 hour drive from here where I live in MN. And MacyBaby, I will probably be traveling by, very near you. But I agree with you both, it is beautiful there. My daughter got married there last June and I have a coworker who's son in getting married there this August as a Destination Wedding. I will be going the week of July 4th and my son and family (from Colorado Springs) are meeting us there and we are going to do some sightseeing with the two grandchildren who are ages 9 and 5. I am really looking forward to a fun and relaxing family week.
