Great one at Sandy Lake called Generations  
Mill Pond in Rapid City-haven't been there but heard it was good  
The Doll Museum east on #1 is supposed to have a tea room  
Heard the White Owl bakery at Clear Lake had great cinnamon buns  
 
The Peace Gardens are a great day trip and apparently have a nice restaurant  
 
Gimli is a great trip and has a great tea room in a seniors apartment near the water  
 
Have fun!

A great tea room is A Bend In The Willow in Forrest. Call ahead to make a reservation. They also have a small gift shop with flavored honeys. Yum!

Wawanesa has a REALLY nice campground, AND they have the new pool right by it, which is awesome. Has 2 water slides, diving board and splash sprinkklers as well. It is beautiful!
