About out Summer 08 Roadtrip

In 1989 my Mom and Dad took me and my brother, Tim, on a 3 week road trip out west to California. We took the Southern route and seen all the sites between here and the Pacific Ocean. At one time we planned to take the Northern route back and see Mt. Rushmore, but for some reason that plan did not work out. So since then I have always wanted to go see Mt. Rushmore. I did not know much of the history of it, but I was amazed at it for some reason. Several years before Dad passed away he talked of taking the trip to Mt. Rushmore. Due to his health he was not able to ever make the trip. So Glenn and decided earlier this year that we would tackle a Roadtrip out West. We left on June 17 at 6:15pm and drove all night to reach our first destination, Wisconsin Dells. That was 855 miles in 15 hours. We spend two nights there and then set out to Minneapolis. I hope that you enjoy the pics. They are only a few. I took 406 with my camera and we all took some on our phones. It was definitely a trip we will never forget. The boys did great riding in the car all day long several different days. There is still lots that I want to go back and see. If you are ever bored I encourage you to read up on the history of Mt. Rushmore. It is truly amazing. Not only is the monument spectacular. On a roadtrip like that you get to see what an artist God really is. He is an amazing painter, that is what the ride across South Dakota looks like, a painting. We have a beautiful country to live in. There are only a few places that I have yet to see. I hope that one day you have to pleasure to make a similar trip. May God Bless You All!!!! IN HIS TIME (read their little sis's blog to get that), Angie
