Cody, Wyoming

Even though we seemed to spend a lot of yesterday in the truck going to see the wild horses and the Overlook, we actually went on another trip today in the truck! That's right - we drove to Cody, Wyoming. We visited the famous museum complex there, had lunch at a sports bar/ brewery that had an arcade in the basement, walked up and down the main street, ate ice cream, and went to Walmart!

I loved this regional map and I added "the Ranch" location to it myself

We joined our Montana neighbors the Mosai for lunch here too! It was fun to hang out with them out of context. Actually, it was "only" David, Megan and Ellie who were in town today but they were pretty fun to be with!

We went into loads of gaudy t-shirt shops and also hunted for minerals, but in the end all we bought was ice cream. It was sooooo delicious.

The final stop on the Cody tour was Walmart, and this is where Rhiannon finally was able to purchase her own iPod touch using the dollars that she earned babysitting for her little cousins up in Washington. I wish I had taken a photo of her as she bought this item, because there could not have been a more excited and proud 10-year-old girl in the world as this one was today at Walmart! So all in all, it was a very productive and wonderful trip to the cool town of Cody.
