when in south dakota...

so, i think its kind of ironic that yesterday i posted stonehenge and today i ended up going to mount rushmore (the american answer to doing something special with rocks.) i was acually more impressed with this i have to say. but i come out of the whole experience realizing that i dont pay enough attention to detail. i am truly a girl with her head in the clouds. without looking at the photo right now i couldnt say off the top of my head who the four men are. lets see....
lincoln, washington, um....ben franklin? aaaaaaand.....okay-stumped. hang on....
sadly, i just checked the photo and i still cant say who the other guy is. jefferson? this, after spending two hours there and going through the museum! i would be a horrible investigator-even though i think its the coolest job ever! i DID learn that it was concieved in 1923 by some guy hoping to increase tourism and revenue for s. dakota. i guess its working. they charged our bus $25 to park!!! happy first friday everyone! (go get em' jess)

From left to right it is George Washington(1st pres.), Thomas Jefferson(3rd Pres.), Theodore Roosevelt(26th pres.), and Abe Lincoln(16th pres.). I think whoever came up with this design must have been a republican because, with exception to George Washington because there was no bicamerial system in place yet, they were all republicans, makes you wonder what the hell is wrong with Bush? Enough about the history lesson though! I tell you what that there school is learning me something! I am really enjoying seeing all the pictures you are posting, it's so cool Jen! Miss you terribly and will see you soon.......Sethly
