Vacation 2016, Part 2

Here’s a recap of our summer vacation. This year, it was driving to Mt. Rushmore.
Day 4
Since we were staying in Custer, there was not much involved in going to see Mt. Rushmore.
First off, and I don’t have any photos of this, was the hotel’s breakfast. This was a pancake buffet. There was a pancake machine that made pancakes. You grabbed a pancake or two and then added whatever toppings you wanted. It was a novelty that was fun the first time. My suggestion would be to have some protein available also – bacon, sausage, eggs, etc. Because the kids love pancakes with whipped cream and chocolate chips and everything, but it doesn’t last them very long.
After breakfast, we headed to Mt. Rushmore. I had heard the light was best in the morning, so that’s what we did. Got there around 9:30.
Our national parks pass was useless here, as the monument itself is free. You have to pay for parking (considered a “concession”) though.
It was just like it should be:
We had perfect weather and sunlight for photos that morning.
