We had a short trip today. So, on the way here we stopped at a grocery store to re-stock.
A grocery store visit takes about an hour even though we don't need much to carry us through a few days. An unfamiliar store means a lot of backtracking. Plus, it is hard at times to make decisions as to what to buy from the various choices. And, we have camper storage space to consider.
On the way to our campground for the night we drove right past the Mount Rushmore monument! It was so exciting to glance at the real thing. When I say "glance" I mean it. That is one heck of a twisty uphill climb around that section. The speed limit there is 35 miles per hour. I didn't have any problem with that because with the camper behind us I could only get up to 30!
Our two night stay in the Mount Rushmore area is at a beautiful KOA right near the monument. They have just about every amenity you could imagine, including 4 wheeler rental and horse back riding. Yes, they have their own stable. When we got here Jen took the kids to the water slide. Jen watched the kids having fun on the slide. Jen's youthful side must have kicked in too - she had a blast coming down that slide twice herself!
We had chili cheese dogs for dinner and watched the rest of National Treasure part 2. Appropriate choice for a movie because Mount Rushmore is featured in the movie.
Are those patriotic goose bumps getting an overdose these days??? Enjoy... hope the weather stays nice for you. We are finally drying out down here, and all is well. Love, Mom/Beema
