Dust on my wheels to you Wyoming...wait, there is no dust. Just snow :) Ok. Puffy white stuff to you Wyoming :) I'll be seeing you again on the other side.
It seems we are always in a hurry to be up and out and on the way. I hate that! I didn't get to comb my daughter's hair this morning before we left but whether we like it or not, South Dakota, here we come!
It might seems a little matter, but I like when my kids are groomed and presentable. Why make them look all shaggy and scraggly?
The miles to cover is long and what I notice is how far apart many people live here. Would you live 56 miles away from a neighbor? heck no. I want my neighbor to hear me scream if something is happening but not so close that I can paint their walls through my window.
Onward to Mt Rushmore! Gimme more!
We visited Mount Rushmore but was thinking we'd be disappointed since it was all foggy and cloudy the whole day.
We had a meal before walking up to view the faces of the famous and surely it was a miracle they weren't charging for sitting in the chairs at the table. We forgo drinks to keep our tab down! And the taste was just as yuck!
There was snow everywhere and shall we repeat cold all the time. whew! We stood and watched in disappointment as the faces were shrouded in fog. We listened to the groan of others disappointment too and turned to leave when I saw the fog moving off. I shouted at dh and whooooooo it was like a curtain parted for us to be delighted! We got to see the Presidents!Thank YOU GOD! This was my first face to face with the wonder and I really wanted to see it!
I felt so special as if God did this very thing for me to see, so I wouldn't leave disappointed, not knowing when, if ever we'd get this chance to visit again.
It was just wonderful. The food was worth it.
