February 15-17 Lexi is learning about the Presidents in school, particularly George Washington and Abe Lincoln so we decided that it would be fun to go to Mount Rushmore to enhance her learning on the subject. We left Friday night and drove about 5 hours. We stayed in a hotel (which Lexi loved!). Here are some sights we saw on Saturday morning.
We saw a beautiful victorian bed and breakfast.
We saw this old Wyoming State Penitentiary which is supposed to be haunted. We were going to tour it, but they were closed on Saturdays. So wierd.
While there some deer walked right over to the car and past it. IT was exciting for Lexi to see deer up close.
Finally we saw this old train that had been put into a playground. It was awesome and if it had not been so freezing cold we might have let Lexi play on it.
Hey, you know that Abe Lincoln grew up in Springfield IL... *wink*wink
