Mt Rushmore

While visiting Mt Rushmore, we stayed at a military RV camp at Ellsworth, AFB near Rapid City SD. Lindsay had a great time capturing butterflies and we still have one who came along for the ride on our trip to Minnesota! Mt Rushmore was fantastic, as well as the ride up to the visitors center. This was all of our first trip there and it is just amazing how someone could carve faces in the side of a mountain and show so much detail. We stayed several days here as I needed to get some warranty work done on my truck, then on the 28th of May, we headed on to Pipestone, MN.

On the road again.

Our family left Chewelah, WA on 21MAY enroute to Virginia. I was able to take 30 days leave from the Navy, so we decided to take a fun vacation while we travel back to Norfolk. We stopped in West Richland, WA to visit with Chris, Darlene, Alex, Jared and Jacque Johnson (Kelly's brother)on Friday. The kids had a great visit and we all stayed up until almost midnight talking! Saturday we headed to Missoula, MT and was able to visit with Nikki's grandpa, Gary Thompson, who came down from Kallispel, MT to have breakfast with us. Nikki and Lindsay last saw Grandpa Gary 2 years ago, so he was very surprised they had both grown so much!
I will post some photos as soon as we get to a spot where we have a better wireless signal. Chat soon...
