Mount Rushmore

On July 9th Jeff, Maxine, Todd and I took a nice road trip to see Mount Rushmore. Wow! What a majestic place to see. We walked around the mountain and then went back to our hotel and had dinner, then came back for the evening ceremony.

The evening ceremony made the trip. Opening with the "Pledge of Allegiance", then the singing of "Oh Beautiful" as we watch a video of our country to the lighting of the mountain. It is so moving and patriotic we were all in tears. At the end of the ceremony, they asked all veterans to come up to be honored. It was amazing!

After the ceremony we took the walk around the mountain again to see the amazing sights. In my opinion it is better at night.

This is the view of the entrance into the mountain. Each state is represented by its state flag and the date it was entered into the union.

We had a wonderful time at Mount Rushmore. It was so refreshing to see and feel the passion and pride of our country. I would encourage anyone who has not seen the mountain to go. It's worth the drive!
