road trip to south dakota: day 2, crazy horse

the history behind crazy horse is devastating. I'm glad there is now education about the native american history for the tourists of south dakota, and how they suffered in our hands. I'm glad there's funding going towards such a phenomenal monument. and it IS phenomenal... the head of crazy horse is larger than 6 of the combined heads of mr. rushmore. we loved driving past and seeing crazy horse in all it's glory between all our activities. the construction of the memorial began 68 years ago and it's estimated to be completed in a few decades, though completion is not certain. we hope to be able to visit it again.

I just adore this candid shot of my family.

grateful and proud to be an american and learn from our tragic mistakes.
