Today was a great day. Jen and I started the day with a 3 mile trail run through the Black Hills. We spooked two deer and only thought we were lost once. After Mom-mom and Pop-pop finished their morning run we had breakfast and then we were off to Mt. Rushmore. The Mt. Rushmore complex is impressive. There is a very modern visitors center and ampitheater along with a trail around the monument that gives you several different vantage points. The history of the construction is amazing as it is truly a larger than life work of art. After Rushmore we went to see The Crazy Horse Monument. It was an impressive display of a work in progress. Hard to believe that once its completed the Presidents on Rushmore will be dwarfed by this tribute to the American Indian. After a day of sight seeing the kids enjoyed an afternoon of swimming and games at the campground. We also enjoyed scores, live music and yes.. The NBA finals game 7 on the outside tv on the RV. Tonight we are in a cabin at thew campground. We thought the kids would enjoy a night out of the RV and Mom-mom and Pop-pop might enjoy a night with 5 less people around! Tomorrow we have more sights and a trail ride in the afternoon.
