We just got back from a great road trip. We headed out thursday and went to Mount Rushmore. Mom has always wanted to see it. So with UEA and no school for two days we packed up the car and headed to South Dakota. The drive was wonderful and the the sites were great. We stopped at Sylvan Lake were they filmed National Treasure 2 and hiked around. Dad wished we had put his climbing gear in the car because there were great rocks to climb. Then we drove through Needles highway. And tunnels that were only about 9 feet wide. It was great to try and get the car through the tunnels. Then we finished the day with that sites at Mount Rushmore. The faces are amazing and were really big. We all enjoyed the the sites. On the way home we stopped at Martins Cove. We some of the pioneers found relief and a rescue party coming into the Salt Lake Valley. The girls loved pulling a handcart and imaging what it was really like.Elder Welch is doing great and loving the serve he is doing in Peru. Nikki and Darrin are doing well in Ohio with law school and with work. They are enjoying the "adventure".
