10 reasons why I love South Dakota Summahs


 10 Reasons why I 💜 Summah Vacay @ South Dakota Grandma’s 

  1. It’s Summahhhhhh - love the weather and a great time of year
  2. Baseball season - self-explanatory - America’s pastime 
  3. Fourth of July & watching fireworks 🧨 🎆 from Grandma’s porch 
  4. It’s tradition - 4th consecutive Summah my Dad and I have done this road trip from Spokane, WA to Rapid City, SD 
  5. 🌭Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest and the Mustard Belt (which sounds like the nickname for the Pittsburgh metropolitan area)
  6. The road trip from Spokane, WA with my Dad (listening to Bill Simmons & Rewatchables, stayed at Grandpa’s in Great Falls, MT, camped outside of Glendive, MT, swimming in Clark Fork, just driving in the middle of nowhere) 
  7. Spending time with Grandma @ 88 yrs old - pretty special to have this time with her
  8. Putting green @ Grandma’s & listenin to music & podcasts while putting and flipping up the ball 
  9. The change of pace from everyday life
  10. South Dakota itself - it’s beautiful, so different from WA, not many ppl, cool touristy stuff around Rapid City, Mt Rushmore & Hill City & Lake Sylvan from National Treasure 2
