On Day 5 we did a little sight-seeing in the morning before the wedding preparations began in earnest that afternoon.
For our morning excursion we went to Mount Rushmore.
Riding on Daddy's shoulders
With clear blue skies, it was easy to get a good shot of the monument.
Matt was unimpressed, however.
Walking along the boardwalk at the base of the mountain
Studying the vein in the rock
Posing with Mama
Even the sight of a B2 bomber circling the sculpture failed to impress Matt
That afternoon we attended the rehearsal for the wedding before sitting down to a delicious rehearsal dinner hosted by the parents of the groom. Matt enjoyed sampling the many dishes, especially the whipped cream on the strawberry shortcake.
