The Black Hills, SD has become one of my favorite family road trips for many reasons: there are so many awesome towns near each other to explore (Keystone, Deadwood, Rapid City, Custer, Wall), gorgeous nature sights (the Badlands, Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park) and it’s a cheaper family vacation.

I will admit- I have driven through the Chisago Chain of Lakes area (about 30-50 minutes north of Minneapolis) on my way to Duluth or the North Shore. I never thought twice about visiting this unique area. What a big mistake I was making! Over the past couple of years, I have explored towns I […]
