Heading to Rapid City

We must go grocery shopping we are out of food AHH...... on our way there are so many cool and fun things to see and do we got side tracked again. Cosmos Mystery Area http://www.cosmosmysteryarea.com/ something very cool to check out. This is not free to us but at a discounted rate. A tour is heading out right now this always seems to happen to us I guess we just show up at the right time. This place will throw your equilibrium off completely because of what it is. The tour is very cool and fun they do a number of demonstrations. There is not a lot to say about this place just a cool road side attraction fun for the whole family.

Now to get to the grocery store ....wait I see Sitting Bull Crystal Cavern http://www.sittingbullcrystalcave.com/ we gotta go. The drive down is very fun you can not take a motorhome, fiver, or TT down so do not go if you need to take it with you. This time we walked in and they had just sent a tour in but they let us walk back and join them. When we walk into this cave you have stairs that literally go straight down very cool. We start down the steps when you get down into the cave you are just mesmerized by all the crystals. My jaw just dropped I could not stop taking pictures but pictures will never do this justice you just have to see it for yourself.  They have the largest Dog-Tooth spar but it is hard to get a picture of it but one of the most beautiful caves just being surrounded by crystal there is something about that i just loved. This tour only took about an hour it felt like the shortest cave tour to me but is a def must see.... Again take a jacket and closed toe shoes for sure because you have a lot of steps to go down and up.

Hungry after a morning of site seeing Todd notices a place called dog N suds this was one of the first diner's he went to when he was a little boy and he was so excited to see one, he did not know they were still around. We are stopping there to eat for sure this is a new diner it used to be something else and they are just changing over to dog n suds. You must order a root beer here it is old fashioned and oh so delicious and creamy they sell it in 2 liters at the register I would suggest taking one home. Their chili dogs are so good Todd ordered one and it took him back to his child hood. I ordered a burger I am not much of a hot dog fan but it was so awesome to see Todd light up about a place in his child hood. Food was awesome and the price was right taking a family to eat here would not cost you and arm and a leg which is always a plus.

Stuffed and ready for a nap....but wait we finally made it to the grocery store Hey I think it is better to go grocery stopping when you are stuffed it always seems like you spend less because not everything in the store makes you want to buy it lol....
