Day 6 - A Fun Day!

 


Day 6 - Finally a day to just enjoy where we are!  The weather was BEAUTIFUL! 71 degrees and sunny! We will take it!  We did some exploring around Ogden after a wonderful breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Cactus Reds.  Always love the Belgium Waffles!  


We drove some winding roads


that lead us to Ogden George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park. 



What a cool place! Sorry all our little munchkins weren't with us, they would have loved it.  Hopefully they will all get here one day!

and a visitors' center with actual dinosaur fossils found in this area.  I was unaware that this area had found so many dinosaur bones!  There were also amazing gem stones, a dig site and museum-esque hands-on areas to learn about the claws and teeth, scavenger hunts, and "factoids" announced periodically.  




Rick was in his glory and he was quite pleased he didn't get eaten!  Walked two miles in the sunshine while in the Park!  I was really needing to be outside and walking!!






Then we went to Historic 25th Street.  Ogden is a very interesting and eclectic city.  So many different eateries.  Lots of Italian!  



Unfortunately for us, being off season and a Monday, many places were closed.  I would love to come back again and visit Union Station and all the museums within.  This city is Very clean and well maintained.  They seem to take pride in their surroundings.  Our experience in this area has been wonderful!


Then back to the hotel, yes, we spent two nights at the Comfort Inn, it was just so nice we had too... And then back to Cactus Reds for our last dinner in Ogden.  



Definitely worth trip!

No map today, but we are on the road again tomorrow.  Thanks for joining us on this adventure!

    Looks like a cool place. Ryder would love it and Kelcie would tell us the dinosaurs would bite her finger off. Lol

Day 5 - Evanston, WY

  Day 5 - Easter morning, we left the AB Campground early to try to beat the extreme winds.  We were not successful.  Winds ranged from 20-40 mph with some gusts up to 65 mph!  And we even hit icy and snow covered roads.  Thankful for Rick's great driving and the Lord's protection. First we thought we would go as far as Laramie.  Then Rick thought, "well it's not too bad, let's keep going."  Then we got to Rawlins, which didn't seem to have much to offer and we continued on.  Made it to Rock Springs, and in hindsight, we probably should have stopped there or driven another 100 miles to Salt Lake City.  But we went to our intended destination of Evanston.  Not much in Evanston... We found one restaurant serving food for Easter, Legal Tender .  The restaurant was beautiful!  The food was average and the staff was very attentive and courteous.   We had a deal through Hotels.com for $48 for a king bed room at Grizzly Inn (re...

We spent 24 days away and had an amazing time.  It was so wonderful to spend time with family along the way and with our California family, meet new people and make new friends.  Some days were beautiful, some days were grueling.  We saw rain, hail, sleet, snow, near hurricane strength winds and SUNSHINE!  We loved the sunshine! We drove 4,909 miles round trip.  We used 362.248 gallons of gas and averaged 13.55 miles per gallon.  Not bad considering we drove through the high winds, snow and mountains!   Now we are back, unpacked, laundry done and the RV cleaned up and stored for our next adventure.  Where will we go next??? Thanks to all who have followed our trip!  If you have any questions or suggestions, please comment. For the map lovers: Eagle Point Campground, Cumberland, WI Last night on the road. The ride out.
