After visiting the Crazy Horse Memorial, we drove to the "big heads" (as my dad calls it), Mount Rushmore. Thanks to my mom and sister having been there in January, we didn't have to pay the $11 for parking and used their parking pass.
There wasn't as much to look at compared to Crazy Horse, but it was still enjoyable. It was great to be able to check this item off my bucket list! Plus the weather was absolutely beautiful; a little windy but sunny and not too cold or too hot. We had fun wandering through the gift shop and trying to figure out what we wanted to take home to remember our trip.

For lunch, we continued driving to Rapid City to dine at Beaujo's Colorado Style Pizza. This is a restaurant that started in Colorado, famous for its whole wheat pizza crust eaten at the end of the meal with honey. I remember going here as a little kid for their lunchtime buffet. I was stoked when I found out that we could eat there on our trip! I recommend joining their birthday club; I got $10 off my purchase which was basically half off lunch for two. The service was great and very attentive and the food was very yummy. The only bummer is that their salad bar doesn't include different types of lettuce, just iceberg lettuce and spinach. If you're ever in the area, I suggest you check out Beaujo's!
Coming soon....North Dakota adventures...
love and coffee,

This brings back memories!:-) My husband and I were out there the summer we drove (from Vermont) to Wyoming to visit a friend of mine in the summer of 1997. Which is when you were what, about 7? LOL, now I feel really old! Still, thanks for dredging up some great memories for me!
