Memoir 2

  For my vacation my family decided to  go to Mt.rushmore we stopped in rapid city and rented a hotel room.Then it's about a 20 minute drive to up to Mt.rushmore. Halfway up you pass a small little town entirely made of wood. Then you go up another ten miles.You can see the heads before you even get to the  monument entrance. When we got up their it was filled with people we lasted at least 15 minutes looking for a parking space.When you leave your car you climb some stairs to a two story high gift shop. When you pass the shop you go through like an open pass with all fifty flags of every state.Under each flag theres some information of when that state was proclaimed a stated.After that you walk into an arch made out of that smooth black rock.In the arch the names of all those who worked on and died trying to make the monument. Then theres the monument itself i am not sure how big it is but, it was huge to take a picture you had to step back a few spaces to be able to fit it in.It was one of the awesomnest trips i have ever taken.
