Deadwood Trip

Not running related, but I wanted to put up a few photos from a mini vacation I just went on.

For christmas Desi's father bought us a package from www.BlackHillsBestDeals.com. For $39.99 we stayed a night at the Golden Hills Resort in Lead, SD, received dinner, and had a limo ride to and from Deadwood, SD. If you have never been do Deadwood South Dakota I would recommend it. I imagine it would be much less costly than a trip to Las Vegas. There's tons of history, gambling, hiking, ski resorts during the witner, etc. 

Here is the evening view from our resort, looking down on Lead

The first place we went was the Deadwood Tobacco Company and Cigar Bar, as it was closing earlier than the casinos. I may be a health nut, but I do indulge in wine and cigars on occasion. Here in Rapid City there is a wine and tobacco lounge called Vino 100 and the Tinder Box. I like places like these since they are super relaxed, lots of wood around, comfortable chairs, and the cigars and wine go great together. 

Here is a better photo than I could take of Deadwood

I spent $25 at the Cigar Bar and then Desi and I both lost about 50 dollars in the slots. We found a super cool antique store that I could easily have spent $500 dollars at. Later in the night we called a taxi and while waiting I decided to put a 5 dollar bill in a slot machine. I ended up getting that to $157.00 but got greedy and cashed out at $100.01, so in all actuality we ended up even for the night!
