After spending the whole day at The Badlands, we stoped at the famous Wall Drug. For those not familiar it is the mid west verison of South of the Border. You see signs all along the way. It’s a touristy place with food and gift shops…it was neat. From there, we drove about an hour, had dinner and finally landed at Mt. Rushmore. We were pretty beat from spending the whole day out in the heat, but on we marched. Actually, arriving at dusk was nice, we saw it Mt. Rushmore both in natural light and saw it illuminated by lights. Pictures don’t do Mt. R justice, it is truly amazing in person, something that everyone should see once. Here are a few snaps from our visit there…
The kids were pretty high up here..you can’t tell but Shawn need to put them all on his shoulders to get them up..I have some other pics of them by the sign, but I like this one, because it is more fun!

up close and personal…
and last but not least, a family shot… taken by a kind stranger. We look beat and bit disheveled but hey, it was after 9 at night and we were on the go since 9 that morning!
