Today started out as a very chilly and very rainy day! But we also slept in today, which is what you do on a rainy day, right? ;) So when it came to planning today's activities, we are had to choose things that could be done indoors!
We started our day by touring Big Thunder Gold Wine which was once a real working mine. It was very cool to tour and neater than I once thought. Loved the history behind it all!
Then we headed to check out this small Glass Blowing factory and store (they wouldn't allow any pictures inside)
For lunch, we headed to a winery in Hills City which did not disappoint! We tasted 5 wines for free and ate lunch there. The wines were amazing as was lunch!
This wine was my favorite!
Then we headed to take the 1880s train from Hill City to Keystone and back to Hill City. It was neat train ride with gorgeous views!
View of Main Street in Keystone
Then we headed to see the Crazy Horse Monument which is of monument carved into the side of a mountain of Crazy Horse (a famous Indian)
This is the man who started the monument. He has since died and his children and grandchild are seeing his visions through. This monument is not nearly done.
Here is Crazy Horse's head and arm
These are different Native American flags
How Indians lived long ago
All the different colored beads using in Native American clothing and such
This is what the monument will look like when completed one day
For dinner, we ate in Hill City. This is my Bison steak, mac and cheese, and homemade baked beans!
