Rushmore

We took a last minute trip out to Rapid City to see my dad before he flew out of the airport there. While we were there we had some time so the kids wanted to see Rushmore.
We thought it was a little corny driving up, doing the standard 'family-album' trip to see the Mount. But once we got there, seeing the grandeur and the detail, then the kids' faces when they caught their first glimpse through the trees, it was very much worth the 10 bucks to get in. I didn't remember it costing anything when I was a kid, but then again it didn't look anything like it does now either. The mountain is the same, but the entire walk up is granite and pillars, and the kids really loved the museum.
