Finding the Best in Midwest Weekend Getaways
Our family vacation to South Dakota was so fantastic, it had to be broke up into three different sections! In case you missed Part 1, you’ll want to go back and find out about the Corn Palace, Badlands Scenic Loop, & Bear Country USA. Those are things you certainly don’t want to miss if you are thinking about a trip to South Dakota! But, for today, I bring you the South Dakota Air & Space Museum & Mount Rushmore!
I can’t believe it’s been over a week since we returned from the #FlintsTakeSD trip! Life has continued on in full force and we’re in the homestretch before football season starts and then school. As life continues on, I’m struggling to collect my thoughts about our vacation to South Dakota and so I decided to start with our recommendations for where to visit! Due to there being so many this will be broken into several different posts! So, without further ado….thing things that we think make South Dakota a Family’s Playground!
Traveling from North Iowa to St. Louis is easier than ever thanks to Air Choice One and the Mason City Airport!
Thanks to a Twitter Chat and the folks at Visit Clear Lake, I found myself with 2 complimentary plane tickets at one point in life! Here in North Iowa we are are lucky to have a small, nice, regional airport situated between Clear Lake and Mason City. We are also lucky to have Air Choice One offering service out of this airport to Chicago and St. Louis!

One of the greatest “hidden treasures” of Iowa is the Amana Colonies! Whether you’re looking for a girlfriends getaway or a romantic weekend away, you’ll find a great time here! Here is your guide to visiting.
If you’re a camper, we recommend Amana RV Park & Event Center in Amana, Iowa! Amana is the largest colony of the Amana Colonies and where most of the action is, so it’s the perfect location to stay! When we visited, we easily made our reservation online! Upon our arrival, the employees provided us with tourist guides and coupon books, which is a great perk!
It’s easy to find your camping spot as there are members of the staff that lead you directly there. The staff will also help you get lined up correctly on our pad! Because of their facilities, they are able to host large events along with family reunions, etc!
