After school let out, we hit the road to the west. We took the ferry across Lake Michigan and made our way to Mount Rushmore. There isn't much to do there, but after hiking around we found a fun slide down a hillside and played mini golf. Kids are easy to please, though. They were just as happy spending an hour in every hotel pool along the way. Everyone traveled great in the car. The first day Jarom cried a couple hours, but that was my fault for packing his blankets in the back. After that we kept a blanket tucked in his seat and he was very quiet all the way there and back. We bought a DS player for the kids and between that, the video player and Matt's I-phone the other three were quiet as well and we had fewer arguments in the car than we do at home. Hmm...we should hit the road again next summer.
