Deadwood, South Dakota

Another short drive took us through Sturgis (home to the annual motorcyle rally), Spearfish Canyon, Lead, and into Deadwood, South Dakota. Each point on the map provided its own unique draw.

We took a ghost tour at the legendary Bullock Hotel and it was quite interesting. Ordered dinner in, took a swim in the hotel pool, and now 3 kids are fast asleep after days on the road. Their cribs and beds will feel good tomorrow night.

More pictures when we return, but a few highlights for now from day 4.

Sweet big brother reading to Jack.

The Black Hills.

Busy Deadwood.....lots to do.

We ate lunch at Saloon #10 where Wild Bill Hickok drew his last hand and was killed. The pictures on the wall were fascinating.

Here we are waiting for our ghost tour at the Bullock Hotel and playing our own game of Go Fish. Deadwood is a Casino town, so we wouldn't want to stand out, you know?

Hi there! I ran across your blog as I work with the Historic Bullock Hotel in Deadwood http://www.facebook.com/BullockHotel. Would you mind if I posted the photo of your family playing "Go Fish" (love it!) in Bully's? I could provide a link to your blog or not. It's just such a cute family shot. We'd also like to know if you had any comments on the Bullock Ghost Tour. It looks like you had a fun road trip! Thanks much, Michelle Kane @ Black Hills PR (mkane@blackhillspr.com)
