Mount Rushmore at Night, etc.

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.
