Back to the subject at hand, after that day, I thought a day out of the house would do me well. So I escaped with some friends out to drumheller and the Dinosaur museum. Travel Channel rates the Tyrrell Dinosaur Museum as one of the Top 10 in the world. I was amazed that the museum has a number of working scientists still uncovering remains today. We read that every year when the snow melts, the scientists discover more remains due to the erosion. I found this article on the Smithsonian website.
"Last month I asked readers of this blog to vote for which location deserved the title of “Dinosaur Capital of the World.” Glen Rose, Texas quickly jumped into the lead, but many commenters voiced their preference for Drumheller, Alberta. Glen Rose might have the tracks, they say, but it is hard to beat Drumheller when it comes to the abundance of fossil bones."
I am starting the think that Alberta was once "The Great Valley!" :)
Obviously with my stomach feeling better today, I couldn't resists... Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onion on a sesame seed bun :)
This is the real foot/leg of a dinosaur.
You can't see it, but there is a giant T-Rex behind us... YIKES!
We went on the little hike around the badlands. Now tell me, does this landscape not just scream dinosaur? It is amazing how different it looks than in Calgary. Though, they say when the dinosaurs roamed here, the landscape was like that of modern day Florida. Oh, please... lets go back to that :)
I kept singing... "I got some, ocean front property in Alberta-a, from my front porch I can see the sea..." anyway, a girl can dream, Right!
It maybe doesn't help that for the first time in my three pregnancies, I have felt extremely sick! I am sure my neighbors thought it was fabulous to see me hunched over in my front yard throwing up today. I just couldn't get to the bathroom fast enough.
