In the foreground there were bluffs.
We made our way to Thermopolis, Wyoming, home of the Wyoming Dinosaur Center. The collection there significantly exceeded our expectations.
While Thermopolis was only a stop in the middle of a long day of driving, we packed a lot in.
Not only did we see mounted dinosaur fossils, but we also were just in time to catch a shuttle ...
... to an active dig site!
To be honest, it was a bit much for the kids. But I was in heaven.
The kids appreciated the museum more.
Oliver especially enjoyed the dinosaurs (while Maddie especially enjoyed the ice cream).
And again, I was beyond thrilled to nerd out among the many cool creatures in the museum. Here I am with *the* Medusaceratops lokii, a relatively recent find.
And here I am with some old standards.
After we'd seen what there was to see, we hit the road again.
