When we first moved to Arlington , VA I didn't know exactly what was around us, I just knew it was filled with history. So, on our first Sunday we found out church didn't start until 3pm (yes, I know....crazy). We didn't have any of our belongings so we made due with keeping ourselves busy. We were driving around and I saw a sign that said Mt. Vernon 8.2 miles so I told Joe we should spend some time there before church. He did not seem excited at all. He ask well...what is at mt. Vernon? my reply, The mountain with the presidents faces cut out. I'm sure I knew right as I was saying that, I was wrong...very wrong.
Still to this day its a laughing joke.
I have since been to Mt. Vernon many times showing visitors where President George Washington LIVED. He has a beautiful house and land you can tour around and it's just a great view over the Potomac.
So, when we were planning our trip back west, I insisted stopping at Mt. Rushmore (even though their is nothing else close by but Yellowstone....it is worth the drive if you ever have the chance....GO!)
We found another camp ground to stay at and it was amazing. I want to keep coming back to this place. Joe and I were very surprise how cool Mt. Rushmore is. We spent only a few mins there since Champ wasn't allow ( not cool).
The coolest camp site ever!
Champ played in the river often
Our Family Picture...everyone is looking happy!
Oh so neat!!! i have always wanted to go there...i always pictured them to be spread out over the whole mountain! what a cool road trip you had!!!
