Here they are...
(pardon the fact they are all separate - flickr.com was having issues on my beta version of IE)
Dinosaur Museum (right when we entered Colorado) - This is a good story. When we were at Arches, Hasan told me about how when he was a kid, he watched this Reading Rainbow episode that was all about some place where you could go see real live dinosaur fossils in the earth. He couldn't remember where it was in the US, but just remembered he'd always wanted to see that place...guess the historic significance and learning we were doing at Arches reminded him of it. Anyways, not 15 miles into the drive into Colorado, we see this sign that says "Dinosaur Museum - Exit 5 miles"...and we were SO excited! Could it be, could it really be? So we got off the highway, and went to check it out. Turns out that whole area has lots of excavations and museums that you can go see the dinosaur fossils and science. Unfortunately the one thing that he remembered from his childhood was closed for visitors, but we still had a great time. I love serendipity!
