Dinosaur Museum?!

On the way back from Arizona, we were excited when we saw a sign for a Dinosaur Museum. We could sure use the chance to stretch out our legs and the kids were so excited to see Dinosaurs. After 3-4 more signs, we got more excited. They had replicas of real dinosaurs, hands-on exhibits and much more!! It seemed too good to be true...a cool museum in the middle of nowhere? As we pulled off the exit, we knew we'd need directions. All that was there was a gas station and a dirt road leading out to nowhere. I ran in and asked about the museum. The attendants gave each other a confused look and then said, "Oh, yeah. I think we had a museum like that years ago, but it closed awhile back. They've now spread the replicas all over the place. There's 2 out front you can see". Wow!! Talk about wasted advertising space! If you're looking for a cheap billboard, I know of 4 you could probably go ahead and use. No one will notice! Still, we had fun and stretched our legs for a few seconds!

It's a riot!!!! On the few road trips we've been on this year (mostly to WI or MN) We have found a giant 1) Pink Elephant, 2) Blue Ox, 3) Spotted Cow, 4) Mouse...I swear a fun game would be to have road trip bingo and see if you can spot all these random things!

Oh yeah, and add to that the Incredible Hulk sculpture that was made completely out of pumpkins around Halloween....That was a blogpost that never quite made it up but should have.

Come to Denver and you'll see the giant blue bronco by the Airport and don't forget the random Christmas tree out on the salt flats of Utah just before the baseball tree!
