We made the long trip Northwest to see my cousin and her family for my godson's 8th grade promotion. It was supposed to be our family vacation for the summer, but turned out that Josh couldn't accompany us...so it was a Thomas Family Vacation! My parents, Kayleigh, Stephani, Kaya & Kellen all came along for the ride and it was amazing to have the kids see a different part of the country. The weather was really nasty heading out on our first day and very cold for the end of May. Roughly 60 degrees with horrible winds, especially through Wyoming. We drove 14 hours the first day and stopped for the night in Sioux Falls, SD. Thankfully, we had a patch of sunlight the next morning for our trip to Mount Rushmore. What an amazing place to visit!! The little town of Keystone outside of the park was so cute, I think I could have spent a little time there, but we just drove through on our way up the mountain. Pulling into the park grounds was just breathtaking. The scenery was gorgeous and then four massive heads sticking out of the rock. The kids were floored! They have never seen anything like it in their lives. We went for a couple hours and took pictures, walked the President's Trail and checked out the Sculptor's Studio. Then on the gift shop, where I think bought out the place. Really neat books, rocks and post card souvenirs to commemorate our trek out there.
The Only thing that would have made this visit to the park would have been if Daddy had been with us :-( We missed him so much this trip, but so glad the girls got to see this amazing symbol of our country. We'll have to go back and take him!
From there we kept driving until our little hearts couldn't take it anymore and we finally pulled into Missoula, MT around 10:30pm MST.

There should be a awesome award that demands the players to perform like a team and a player would choose quit then always staying in a nation that he hates.
