Today we saw Mount Rushmore .
It is amazing how anyone could possibly conceive of attempting something so monumental. It is quite an incredible part of American history. One of the actual workers was there today answering questions and signing books. He worked on the site for 3 years. It was very interesting learning how the whole process happened. 90% of it was carved using dynamite. Amazing.
We are now outside of Yellowstone National park. Driving today it got up to 104 degrees! We are hitting smack dab in the middle of a 3 day hot streak that is beating a 100 year old record. Great! Thank goodness for air conditioning. Last night we also drove through an incredible lightning storm that ended a 3 year dry spell here. We are hitting all the great weather.
My hubby today was talking about the scrapbook he wants to make of our trip. I was so happy to hear that he wants to do this. He even had me write down some things he wanted to record so that he wouldn't forget them. I can't wait to see what he does from his perspective. I totally think more men should scrapbook. They have just as many stories to tell.
