When my husband first asked about relocating with the company to South Dakota, all I could think was "isn't that where Mt. Rushmore is?" then wait we haven't even been to Niagara Falls yet!!! I of course have moved to South Dakota but did definitely require a trip to the Canadian side of the falls before we moved. That however is another story I am not sure I can tell to the world (insert a Betty Boop face here)
South Dakota scared me the winters are going to be long and horrible I thought. I mean I love snow, don't get me wrong but Pennsylvania/Maryland don't really get that much. I was thinking of snow chains and being stuck in the house for weeks. I could not have been further from reality. Even though the year we moved here was the big October Blizzard and thousands of cattle died (really wasn't helping dispel that initial imagery any huh), It wasn't as bad as all that. We had some snow, we had random 50 degrees (f) and then we had -10 below. I was with the Chamber then and attended a grand opening for a Dairy Queen. Thank goodness the ribbon cutting was inside. Then came spring warm weather the breeze (20+ mile an hour winds) slowed down, and then wait for it more snow and cold, then a real summer. It was beautiful rarely over high 80's, truly picturesque weather for being outdoors. Exploring the Black hills has been amazing.
