Mount Rushmore

Is There Anything Better Than A Weekend In A Chevy Beretta?

Okay - you're right, if you throw in a few muttstacles, listening to the 9/11 Commission Report, travelling in pajamas, and having a friend that has no idea that we were going to drive to Mount Rushmore in the middle of the night, and sleeping in the Beretta's uncommonly spatious trunk, it could get better than that.........

The Journey Begins!

Curt and I met Duke in Sheboygan, and from there we road in luxury in Duke's Beretta. We ate at Arby's! Duke dodged several muttstacles, including a detour that took us more than 50 miles out of our way, but before midnight we found ourselves at Mutt's place with more than enough time to go look at a view presidents and get back to our respective Homes.

We're always thinking Arby's!

Will he go or will he stay??

When we got to Mutt's he thought we were joking........who in their right mind would want to drive 30 hours in a single 2 day weekend?? WE DO!!

Mutt still thinks we're staying at his place - so he's making a taco dip

WE MADE IT BABY!!

We proved that you can make it from Milwaukee to the Rapids City Ihop just in time for IHOP to open up on Saturday morning if you leave Friday after work.

Ironically we spent more time in the gift shop then we spent looking at the presidents.......but Curt and I did walk out of there with a stylish pair of Mount Rushmore socks.


Don't we look nice below the presidents!
