Our first night of our trip out west we spent at Mount Rushmore, where we were able to see the ceremony where they light up the monument. It was just a beautiful, moving ceremony.
The day we left for our vacation was Meg’s birthday, so I made a black walnut pound cake – one of her favorites that I make – & lugged it in my carry-on across the country so we could celebrate that night when we got back to the hotel. It was just a fun evening to kick off our trip.
