We spent the day in the Mount Rushmore / Black Hills area. I can honestly say I love this area, and we haven’t even done a 1/4 of the things to do here! Of course one of the main attractions was Mt. Rushmore itself. Walking up to see Mount Rushmore is amazing. The Avenue of…

Alright, I know I’m a baaaaaad blogger! Here it is 2 months after our vacation, and I’m still trying to get up posts from our vacation! Time has gone too quickly!! This day, the only planned stop was to be Devils Tower, but after looking at the map, we saw that we’d drive right past…
