We're home!

Arrived home at 5:00 p.m. 7/3, and the trip was good. No major mishaps, some minor ones. I'll have to assemble the travel anecdotes and figure out which ones to share, those are my favorite to write and the ones most fun to read. We travelled from 6/28 - 7/3 to Rapid City, SD via Salt Lake City. We rented a wheelchair to conserve my strength and we returned it EARLY yesterday! The altitude helped build strength and took lots of short naps. The campground we were in is Palmer Gulch for the first few days and then the last day at Lake Legion in Custer State Park. Palmer Gulch (PG) is close to Mt. Rushmore and many of the nearby towns look like Radiator Springs from the CARS movie according to my sons. PG has numerous family activities as well as a $2.50 all you can eat pancakes from 7-11 every morning. Two outdoor pools, horseback trail rides, movies, mini golf, trails, bike rentals, arcade, 3 restaurants and cafe's, all the comforts of home. Some of the cabins are plush and some are more rustICK! A very cool place for a family vacation or reunion.
