  • South Dakota: One Day in Sioux Falls, SD - Travel Vlog | What to Do, See, & Eat!
    Welcome to South Dakota, state #34 in our journey to all 50 states in a year (2021)! When you think of South Dakota you probably think of tractors, cold weather, Mount Rushmore, and vast, open landscapes filled with nothing… and you wouldn’t necessarily be wrong! But we’re here to show you that there’s a whole lot more to South Dakota than those stereotypes! Per usual, we only had one day to explore, so we focused our efforts on the quaint town of Sioux Falls, and we can promise you that it did not disappoint! From an AMAZING stay at Hotel on Phillips to the delicious pastries at CH Patisserie to the perfect summer evening at Strawbale Winery, we couldn’t have asked for a more memorable time in the Mount Rushmore State!
    Check out our “One Day in Sioux Falls” travel itinerary for tips on planning your visit!

    == About Us ==
    We’re Matt and Nat, a part time travel couple based out of Nashville, TN. Like everyone else, 2020 turned our world upside down. With more time on our hands than ever and multiple international trips canceled, we were left wondering what our 2021 travel plans would look like.
    What we realized is that we wanted to see more of our own beautiful country, so we decided to set out on our biggest adventure yet… to see all 50 states in a year!
    This channel is about all things travel & adventure. From vlogs, to tips & tricks, to crazy travel stories, the best foods, as well as product & service reviews, & soo much more.

    I've lived near sioux falls for over ten years. Outside of downtown the expansion is wild. Year after year I've watched as farm lands disappear and become replaces with new housing, apartments, and business. It's been fun to watch over the years as Sioux Falls, Tea, and Harrisburg gradually converge on one another and will soon become connected.

If you guys ever come back here make sure you check out the black hills and De Smet. Both are beautiful and full of sooo much history! De Smet also has homesteads and is where the famed writer Laura Ingalls Wilder lived for part of her life!

      It's a bummer that Paha Sapa(the Black Hills) are on the opposite side of the state, it's beautiful out there as well! It's a 5-6 hour drive... depending on how heavy your foot is lol.
      Jazz Fest is the best event in my opinion.

    You guys are a breath of fresh air.
    With your sparkling personalities You 2 should do a marketing and promotional ad campaign for the city of Sioux Falls .
    I grew up in Sioux Falls and the history of the downtown is quite interesting. Minerva's restaurant was once known as 'Lemonds Finer Foods' back in the 50's, 60's and early 70's, which was owned by my Father.
    The Falls was actually a run down place back 50 plus years ago until the city had the sense to clean it up and make it into the beautiful place it is today. Not to often that you'll see water falls that close to a DT.
    The Hotel on Phillip's was actually a bank for many years, as you showed with the vault and safe lounge and it also has a couple of bullet holes in the front of the building from gangster holdups from the dirty thirties I believe.
    Anyway, your guys presentation was excellent and I am glad you enjoyed Sioux Falls. 😎🇺🇸👍🥃
    P.S. You 2 might try visiting Rapid City, SD. You'll love the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore and all the tourist destinations and dont forget the famous 'Wall Drug' if you visit the area 🇺🇸

    Well, I want to say welcome to South Dakota!! I was born and raised and still live in South Dakota. I do love this state for the most part. I live across to the state from Sioux Falls. I hope you really love South Dakota as much as I do. We may not be super known besides for Mt Rushmore, but SD is still a great state!

    Cheers guys..y’all really rocked this vid. We too are avid travelers and foodies and blessed to be residing in the great state of South Dakota. DTSF is a treasure for sure, especially on first Fridays..lol
    We are only 50 mins from Sioux Falls and 25 mins from Yankton (our birth city and first capital) along the Muddy Mo (Missouri River). Another great place to visit for history, beauty and great food. We’d be glad to be your tour guides. Anyways we enjoy your channel so much that we subscribed.
    Well done Matt and Nat..Well done!!

    Nat, yer right, it is pronounced Mini-Haha! I remember my parents talking and hearing the word Minnehaha (I grew up partly in Upper Michigan near Lake Superior) and I thought it was pretty cool sounding. Apparently, it's from Longellow's epic poem "Song of Hiawatha" and it's a fictional Native American woman and her name translates roughly to "water fall".
