Yesterday was a nice relaxing day that we didn't have to rush around or drive a million miles. We drove through Badlands National Park, I showed Ben Wall Drugstore in Wall, SD which is this drugstore from back in the cowboy days (I think...), then we found Culver's again in Rapid City, SD and went to Mount Rushmore last night. Luckily we got there an hour or so before the lighting ceremony so we were able to snap off some good pictures and take in the sculpture and then we sat through the lighting ceremony which consisted of a park ranger telling us all about how Mt. Rushmore came to be and what it represented (including a shout out to George Mason!), and then a 20 minute video about Freedom and each of the presidents, but by the time we got to the lighting part, clouds covered the sculpture :(. Oh Well! It was still great to participate in it and honoring all the veterans in the crowd. Then we found our way back to our hotel as lightening was lighting up the whole sky (although I thought it was some kind of light show... Lol) and then a crazy big storm hit as I crashed! The Comfort Inn in Custer, SD was super nice and I had the best sleepo I've had in a long time. By last night we had driven 1,831 miles!
