So you're thinking of heading south: Maybe Florida and the Disney parks for the holidays, Texas and environs for spring break, the Carolinas for a tour of the East Coast. I fully endorse heading south for a family outing, but with a twist: Go west to South Dakota. My family and I took a two-day trek through South Dakota in August as we chased totality for the solar eclipse, and I returned solo six weeks later on a five-day hosted trip to explore the state. On both visits, I found a mix of cultural delights, contemporary kitsch and family-friendly stops.
