Despite planning our cross-country trip for over 6-months, we still ran into surprises. And one of those surprises has been South Dakota. Who knew we’d fall in love with this state so much? If you’ve ever been there, this probably doesn’t shock you....

I have been looking forward to visiting Wyoming for as long as I can remember. In fact, I detailed a little bit of my “why” in this post about traveling to Wyoming. But guess what? I didn’t get to follow any of the advice from that post! Here’s...
