On our last day of adventures we drove all the way on I-70 about 1/3 down the summit. On our way we stopped in a little town in Colorado, Fruita.
They had the best dino museum by far.
It was our favorite place.
Not only did a lot of the dinosaurs move and growl (in surround sound), they sprayed water. They had a huge digging area. They had all kinds of things that were interactive just for the kids and they also had sitting areas for the parents. They had a dinosaur car. And the gift shop… well lets just say that I didn’t come home any more rich than when I left.
Our most favorite part…. the giant T-Rex. It took me a lot of convincing to get my kiddo to stand underneath it. It was that realistic.
Then we traveled a little bit down the road to Glenwood Springs and swam in the world famous pools. It was great to see and do, but I will have to say, it was sooooo crowded. And a bit expensive for my taste to just spend an afternoon swimming. But it was worth it. My kiddo had fun. And it wore him out, which is what I had intended for it to do.
The next day we drove down the rest of the winding summit and headed home.
It was a fabulous trip.
It was exactly what we both needed.
I hope he remembers it when he gets older. I know I will.
Now….to figure out where we’re going next. 🙂
