Next weekend (not this weekend), Lloyd and I are going to go see Mount Rushmore. This is marks a first in our marriage because this will be the first out-of-state trip we will have ever taken that does not involve 1) seeing family or friends, or 2) a shopping destination*. Crazy!
Now, one of my many, many personal flaws is that I’m seldom aware of what’s going on around me in real-time. Every choir tour we ever took, I had no idea what we were going to be doing, and even less of an idea while it was happening. “We’re in Munich? Is that part of Germany? When do we eat?” This time, I’d like to have some advance knowledge. While the real purpose of this trip – in my eyes – is to camp more than one night in the Prius and not get eaten by bears, I would also like to explore a little. Here’s where you come in:
Have you ever been there?
What should we do/see/explore?
That’s it. Load me up with advice. The crazier the better. I can’t promise we’ll do all the suggestions, but it will arm me with knowledge.
