On the third day of our vacation (July 3) we drove for what seemed like forever to Vernal, Utah to the Dinosaur National Monument. We drove through tons of little towns that were surrounded by oil dykes. It was another hot day, hence all the red faces.
Here's what part of the monument. You could see the bones really close up!
Even get to touch some of them! The kids thought that was pretty awesome! I thought it was really cool too! The kids got bored pretty fast since there wasn't a lot of activities to do besides touch the bones.

They had a tram that would take you from the vistors center to the monument. We had to sit and wait our turn. It was intersting to hear all the different languages around us. Never would have thought of Utah as international stop!

We then hit the road again.
We drove through Flaming Gorge, in a rainstorm, I might add, to get to Evanston, WY where we planned on spending the night. On the way, we passed some giant windmills and almost got in an accident when a truck had lost a tire but they hadn't cleared the lane yet. We felt very blessed as we ate pizza that night and swam in the pool!
