Day 2: Mount Rushmore

Today, we visted Mt. Rushmore and Wall's Drug.

Mt. Rushmore was breathtaking. Being a liberal such as myself, (and my dad being staunchly Conservative) it was kind of nice to show him that our great country could not have made it without Liberalism. Kinda pissed him off when I pointed out that out. Made my fuckin day. OH. And the sculpture was cool, too.

The most memorable part of Wall's Drug was the animatronic T-Rex that "attempted to feed" on myself and mi familia and various other bystanders. It roared, my mom jumped back ten feet, I stepped back (because I thought it was going to lean over the fence, and, in the event they calibrated how low it would lean for a NORMAL size person, would have either knocked me unconcious or ACTUALLY bit down on my head), but, in an outstanding show of courage, (or stupidity, I'm not sure) a small child who cannot have been more then 9 or 10 walked up to it from the back of the group of people, roared BACK at it, and said, "I'm louder then you, MEANIE!" I wanted to give this little kid a hug.

Next Stop: Corn Palace, Badlands, possibly something else.
