(See below for more on Day 3 and a late addition to Day 2) If you are not already aware I should inform you that Emma is a bit of an American history fan and has particular interest in the Presidents. Mt. Rushmore was something she had been interested in visiting for some time. So I snapped this shot of her in front of the monument (click to enlarge). The kids have been great. The first couple of days were tough as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin are not exactly filled with amazing sights. So today the finally got a taste of what the rest of the country has to offer. They've been amusing themselves in the car with various games, puzzles and Emma with her MP3 player. We brought some books on tape and CD but yesterday the stories on CD were putting me to sleep while driving. So last night I ripped some CDs and put them on her MP3 player. We also picked up a new set of headphones and a dual headphone jack at an ancient Wal-Mart in Blue Earth, MN. So today the finished a 6 CD story on the MP3 player. They really enjoyed that. Perhaps almost as I enjoyed listening to the Sirius satellite radio. The Early Classics on Vinyl station, broadcast from the Rock Hallf of Fame in Cleveland is mighty choice.
One more thing: I had an elk filet for dinner tonight. A first for me and it was great!

John, Eve, Miles and Emma. I am certainly enjoying your vacation. Yes, isn't it strange how you are in flat, flat land and then the badlands. Unbelievable. That's where we went horseriding, in Teddy Roosevelt National Park.
Your pictures are great. Keep the stories coming. I will be in Toledo next week, and this will be what I look forward to.
Love you,
Linda
Walmart visit sounds bad :(Music sounds cool - are you gonna let Emma drive :):)
