It also might have been pretty great when Ryan was a kid, but I think the current feel of it (commercialized/structured/slightly lame) is probably pretty different from 25 years ago.<br />Anyway, I just hope my kids remember this trip as being awesome, like fireworks, when they're grown ups.

The faces did look much smaller than I imagined they'd be, I think because they are so much farther away from where you typically view them vs. in the professional pictures. There are other things nearby like Custer State Park, which I think is better for exploring and trails. So as long as you aren't building your whole trip around Rushmore, it should still be a great road trip!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05488509129367354455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858564961441376086.post-7667769197104168292013-07-31T11:14:19.916-07:002013-07-31T11:14:19.916-07:00I snorted at the phrase "freedom patron."...I snorted at the phrase "freedom patron." What a great euphemism.<br /><br />Mount Rushmore is one of those places that I've never seen, but still kind of want to. I'm hoping that it will be like the Eiffel Tower - a little trite, but unimaginably beautiful person. Maybe if I can roll in a trip to Lead as well...<br /><br />xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858564961441376086.post-66896629345190471122013-07-31T05:55:04.918-07:002013-07-31T05:55:04.918-07:00Ryan wants to go to Rushmore mostly just to have o...Ryan wants to go to Rushmore mostly just to have our kids say "yes, we went". And I'm all, that's far and what if it's lame? I've never been. He went as a kid and therefore thinks its awesome, like fireworks. <br /><br />xoxoHeatherhttp://www.extraordinary-ordinary.netnoreply@blogger.com
