Inspired by my dear friend Allison, I took up the challenge to take a photo each day in 2011 to document my life. I embarked on this with some trepidation (I was not sure I would remember to take a picture every day), and with some curiosity: I didn't have a plan for this project and I was excited to see how it would evolve. What would my life look like, day by day, throughout one year?

Well, one year on, I am addicted to this project. I already took a lot of photos of my children but I have loved the way the 365 challenge has disciplined me to think about and appreciate EVERY SINGLE day - and the precious moments in every day that in the past have flown by unnoticed... I am thrilled to continue with this blog in 2012 - although it really should be retitled: Day by Day 366! Looking forward to a new year...

Day 232: Mt Rushmore




I was a little anxious about going to Mt Rushmore. I was afraid that it would have been overhyped as a must-see destination, and would seem too touristy and tacky. However, much like Stonehenge last summer, I was surprisingly moved and awed by the experience of visiting this famous monument. After Mt Rushmore, we spent the afternoon at Wind Cave National Park, where we went on a fascinating tour of a very small fraction of Wind Cave, one of the longest caves in the world. To end the day, we drove to Devil's Tower National Monument and arrived just before sunset for an amazing view of this unusual and striking rock.
