So my longing to go to Rapid City got me thinking.  If I won the lottery and could live anywhere I want and be able to work from home, I would want to live Mid-May to Mid-September in Rapid City and Mid-September to Mid-May in The Outer Banks of NC.  I love both places!  They are both beautiful in their own right.  The Outer Banks has the ocean, wild horses and peacefulness.  Rapid City has rolling hills, buffalo that roam, and peacefulness.  I wouldn’t want to do the winters in Rapid City because of the snow and I wouldn’t want to do the summers in the Outer Banks because of the crowds.  By living like that I would have the best of both worlds.  I would have a Condo in Rapid City and a Beach House in the Outer Banks.  It would be so cool to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years on the beach and to spend Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day at Mount Rushmore.  It might never happen but a Southern Belle can dream!  Dream about living the Perfect Life.
