5 Days In Bismarck, ND – Here’s What We Did
After spending a few days in Dickinson and then a week in Fargo, we rounded out our time in North Dakota by spending five nights in Bismarck.

Hotel Review: Element Bozeman, MT

We were visiting in early September and, seeing as it's such a popular place to visit in late summer/early fall, it wasn't easy to find affordable accommodation. We ended up settling on a stay at the … [Read more...] about Hotel Review: Element Bozeman, MT

Hotel Review: The Historic Davenport In Spokane, WA

It was … [Read more...] about Hotel Review: The Historic Davenport In Spokane, WA

Hotel Review: Residence Inn Manchester Downtown, NH
Seeing as New Hampshire is on the smaller side (it's the 9th smallest state by land mass) and we didn't have a ton of potential things to do in the state, we decided to only spend 10 days there on our 50 state road trip. Visiting New Hampshire in the summer isn't cheap, but we … [Read more...] about Hotel Review: Residence Inn Manchester Downtown, NH
Some Downtime In Minneapolis – Here’s What We Did
To round out our time in Minnesota, we ended up staying a total of three weeks in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. Due to the way things worked out though, we didn't end up doing as much there as we might've hoped.

Hotel Review: Residence Inn Rapid City, SD
The third of four cities we stayed in during our month in South Dakota was Rapid City. We stayed all 10 nights there at the Residence Inn Rapid City which is one of Marriott's brands.
