We intended to visit the New England Region, which would have been a first for both of us.  We were excited to see the fall foliage in October in that area as well as Acadia National Park; but the cost of plane tickets, car rental and the limited hotel reservations, which were very expensive up there since it's October......we just couldn't afford that right now. 

 

​

So, although the Daughter and I visited South Dakota in Summer 2021, Hubby hasn't been there in years and wanted to go.  So we're going to make it a Road Trip and drive from home in Alabama down on the Gulf Coast, and go through Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, and maybe a couple more state - not sure of our exact route yet.

​

We're excited to visit The Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park, etc, it's so beautiful up there.  We have a limited amount of days because of Paul's work, but we'll make the most of it.  We'll see what else we can discover on the way up and back.
