After we dropped Tim off at the Rapid City airport (which was tiny) my mom and I decided to take a drive down to Mt. Rushmore. The drive was absolutely beautiful. I'd been meaning to make it a side trip for a couple days but for some reason I can't get out of Deadwood, there's just too much to do.Mt. Rushmore was pretty amazing but what got me was the museum and the sense of history that it brought. It also went into what each of the presidents represented to the artist and why he choose them. But by far my favorite exhibit was the when they showed all the initial dynamite explosions. Blowing up things is so cool.
My mom did say something that I kind of agree with though. She said, "Mt. Rushmore is all and good, but the mountain would be much prettier if they would have left it alone."
