 Journal Entry:

Dear Diary,

Today we boarded the bus at 7:00 am. Our first stop was at the Badlands National Park. We had fun exploring on the rocks. Next we headed to Wall Drug's for lunch, also known as the biggest tourist trap around. After that, we visited Mount Rushmore. It was fascinating to see the sculpture of the president's heads. We then went to Crazy Horse and explored around the visitor's center. Currently, we are in Spearfish, SD where we ate supper at the Pizza Ranch Buffet and settled into our hotel to relax after our long day of sightseeing.
