I agree, Jana. Especially seeing it as an adult, for me, really resonated this time. But you have to go to the Ranger’s Program, it’s every evening at 9 p.m., and free. Dh and I were both so moved by the hoards of veterans and people who had lost loved ones in the wars who surged down to the stage at the end for the flag ceremony and the singing of the national anthem. It really stirs the old patriotism…

Yes, Leticia, yo u HAVE to go. There is nothing, I mean NOTHING to compare to seeing it in real life. It really overwhelmed me. I think having grown up seeing the pictures, etc and how over-exposed it is (they have a whole reel of TV things showing that have it in there), you lose the awe of what it is, what it took to make it.

How I long to see those mountains. I mean we all have seen Mt. Rushmore on tv or in the movies, but to actually see it in person? Wow!

I wish we could go to the Creation Museum together, my dh is on board with that… However, it would have to take second place over attending the Sheridan, Wyoming leather expo next May. We can hope!

Oh I’m so glad you go to do all of this…it’s an amazing place isn’t it? Next year I either want to go back there or to the Creation Museum.
