The kids and I had originally planned to spend Memorial Day in Coronado with the Winters family, a trip we planned months and months ago, because of COVID, we were forced to postpone the trip to another year. We were very disappointed. Because of this, we found ourselves home with no plans (par for the course in COVID season) on a holiday weekend. It didn't take us long to put something together.
A family in Sioux Falls owns a cabin near Lewis and Clark Recreational Area and happened to have availability that weekend, so we booked the cabin and went for the long weekend. The cabin was great! So much space to explore, a hot tub, games, 'forts', and more. The best part was being a 5 minute drive from the state park which was full of bike trails, beaches, and hikes. We took full advantage of all it had to offer.
Maggie and Anna came to join us for two nights of fun, my parents and Jeff and Isaac also came for a Saturday evening grill and s'mores session. We made the most of it with a bonfire on Friday evening and a long bike ride to the harbor for a sailboat ride on Saturday, when Maggie and Anna left on Sunday, we took the kids to a beach and went for a nature hike before returning to the cabin for a family night, to wrap up the fun, we celebrated Dave's birthday on Memorial Day. Our favorite restaurant had reopened that day, so we got take out and kids' choice dessert - brownies. We were exhausted from the weekend but had a nice day celebrating Dave.
