Pics from the trip...




Outside Ten Sleeps, WY. This is one of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen. It is called Ten Sleeps because the Indian tribe would measure distance by how many nights or "sleeps" it took to get from one place to another.



Okay...we are getting close now!




Here, as a great highlight is Cole's most favorite person in history. Wow, we thought we would have to wait to go to Wasgington DC for him to see a statue of his hero.


Mount Rushmore was created by a man named Borglum. On the way in is a museum about his life and accomplishments...not to mention how Mt. Rushmore was made, and what it took to do it.


By the time we got to the monument, we were very familiar with its history which made it so much more enjoyable.
