The One at Mt. Rushmore


I had always wanted to see Mount Rushmore. And when our parents told us we'd be able to go, we were pretty excited. But Shaina and I had NO idea how much we'd love it.

I remember driving through the black hills... up to the mountain. (Well, *I* wasn't driving, my parents were, but still... I was looking out the window.) And Shaina and I were beside ourselves... each twist and turn we took up the mountain, gave us a just a peek of the four faces. And it was like Christmas morning.

We finally arrived, and it was the most breathtaking sight we had ever seen. 

Every time I look at this photo, I remember what a wondrous and beautiful site it is. It really is one of the most amazing things on this earth. And it makes it even more special (at least, in my eyes) that it was created by men. :) 

To this day, I love this photo, and it's still one of my favorite handstand photos to date.
