Dinosaur National Monument, July 10, 2013

 

Vacation2013 321

Our drive on July 10 was monstrous.  We drove from Colorado Springs, CO to West Jordan, UT.  The drive through I-70 was gorgeous and definitely worth it.  Once we got into Utah we stopped at Dinosaur National Monument for a short break.  We got in free since Ray got his military pass.  Timmy and Joshua both love dinosaurs.  We only stopped at the quarry since it was late afternoon and we still had a three hour drive.

It was worth the stop and the two hour break.  Although it was 102 out we didn’t sweat, unlike Florida, and the quarry is in an air conditioned room.

The kids loved seeing the dinosaur bones and being able to touch a few.  They also loved riding the trolley from the visitor center to the quarry. We hope to go again in a few years and do some more exploring in the park.
