We left Monument Colorado about 7am on Friday, May 30, 2014. Saying farewell to long time friends was hard but we know but we know we'll get to see them again soon.
We drove 500 miles in the one day to Rapid City, South Dakota - driving through Wyoming was awesome nothing but green grass and fields for 100's of miles. Wyoming is by far one of the most beautiful states we have driven through. We just wish we'd have had more time to stay and visit and explore.
Pulling into Rapid City about 4:30 (we got lost in Wyoming and it took a little longer than expected) we were amazed by all the mountains and greenry. We met my sister and her husband, my nephew, and my niece and her husband and 2 children at the Holiday Inn Express just a few miles from Mount Rushmore. Friday night we ate dinner at Ruby Tuesdays (across from the hotel) and then flopped exhausted for a good nights sleep. Up early on Saturday morning we ate a quick breakfast at the hotel and then packed up 3 cars for the trip to see Mount Rushmore. Fog was very thick and we had to wait around about an hour for it to lift before we could get decent pictures. Had a ton of fun visiting, watching people, watching the young ones but we were all exhausted by 1pm-ish and decided to head back fro a nap.
Our biggest disappointment in this part of the trip was that it rained steadally from the time we left Monument, CO on Friay morning until after we woke up Saturday morning.
