Yes, ladies and gents, you read the title correctly. What's cooler than dinosaurs? I can think of some things on the same level, of course, but not much else brings out childhood memories and excitement quite like dinosaurs do. And where's the best place to see such magnificent creatures? Why, none other than Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas, of course. I might've stolen the idea from Victoria (you can see her photos here), but I can't say that I'm ashamed; it was a darn good idea. So Merritt and I embarked from good ole SA-town, headed straight north, ate some chocolate, nommed some Dairy Queen, got lost trying to find a Whataburger (the craving for one of their cheeseburgers was intense, y'all), and basically had a (slightly disappointing) blast. Here are some photos from the adventure!
Unfortunately, it seems like the most exciting part of the park were the life-size model dinosaurs, but hey, they're pretty awesome, right? It turns out it's harder to find the dinosaur tracks than we thought... We did find one, though! (By the end of the trip we were a little hot, hangry, and disgruntled, to say the least.) The park is definitely worth a visit, though, in my opinion, simply because you get to experience some great Texas country.
Beautiful, eh? However, we made an amateur mistake and didn't consult our Hitchhiker's Guide so we didn't have any towels to go swimming. Subsequently, we panicked. (Haha, literary humor. I have to throw it in there somewhere, don't I?)
