Monte, Isabella, and I, along with Monte's parents went to the Black Hills of South Dakota for our vacation last week. It was amazingly beautiful out there! I was there when I was a little girl, then Monte and I went there for our honeymoon, and then a couple of years later for our anniversary. We were married in the dead of winter, though, so I haven't seen it during the summer, when it's so beautiful, since I was very young. Also, there is so much to do and see there, that every time we go we see new things, although Mount Rushmore is always a must see. It was an 8 hour drive out there at the beginning of the week, then lots of driving while we were there to see the scenery and different tourist attractions, then an 8 hour drive home at the end of the week. Isabella did amazing with all of the driving, she just went along with the flow the entire time. Monte's mom brought the baby doll from her house (Isabella's favorite toy in the whole world!!) and that baby honestly kept Isabella entertained the entire time we were driving! We stopped several times to let her go potty, and to let her run /jump around, and I think that helped a lot too. I think I'll do several vacation posts as I have time since there were so many things we did.
Isabella loved Mount Rushmore, we went there 3 times while we were staying out there. Every time she would see it she would say, "Look at Mount Rushmore!! Isn't that something!"
This next one was taken outside the gift shop at Mount Rushmore. The stuffed buffalo in her stroller was her souvenir from Daddy from the trip. She named him "Bravo" and has been sleeping with him ever since. My dad also got me a stuffed buffalo from there when I was a little girl.

LOVE the stuffed buffalo tradition! We bought one somewhere when we were in SD, and it spent some time in Goose's crib when she was tiny . . . until I caught the cat running off with it. Now it's on the special shelf in her room.
Can't wait to hear more about your trip!
