[il Padrino Ute]

Has anyone here ever rented a vehicle and driven to your destination, then flew home?

I ask this because I am planning a summer vacation to take the Padrino clan to Mt. Rushmore in either July or August. We could drive there and back, but I just don't know if my family is capable of loving each other for that many days in the minivan. The kids can barely make the drive to Park City from our house in Murray without the bickering escalating to hand-to-hand combat.

Any opinions on if it would be worth it to drive to Mt. Rushmore and see the sites then hop on a flight from Rapid City back to SLC? Or if you've done the drive then fly thing, do the postives outweigh the negatives?
