Day-27 .. Bozeman & Ben & Christin & family

The day dawned sunny with Montana's BIG SKY!   Ben went to work early and Christin scurried to get six little girls ready for school!   I took my time shaving and showering since I was leaving later.   I took the RavRover in for an oil change, after all .. it's been 6,000 miles!    Afterwards I headed over to the Museum of the Rockies.

Wow!   Along with the Thermopolis Dinosaur Museum, I'd say that these two are much more extensive than the Smithsonian in Wash,DC!    Awesome displays and continuing research going on.  Next picture is one showing a lady and a couple of Montana State Univ. students working on field specimens.

Now for the fun pictures.   Enjoy .. Cameron ..

So much to see and study in this area of the museum.   They also had quite a lot about Yellowstone, native tribes, early mining operations, and early area transportation.

On my drive back into downtown I saw this interesting old house on Wilson St.:

When downtown, I walked Main St. and admired the late 1800's buildings.

Ben got off work a little early and met me for a beer at the Rockin R.

A little later Christin drove into town with the girls and we ate dinner at one of their favorite pizza restaurants.    Drove home and Ben started a bath for the girls.   When the girls were in their pajamas we went out to the deck and enjoyed a glass of wine and the spectacular mountain range scenery.  What a view!   We proceeded to play story time.   We all had to pick an animal or insect and when it was our turn we had to add to the story.   A lot of fun and laughs.

Tomorrow we plan on traveling to a geologic wonder, the Lewis and Clark Caverns.   Should be a fun day with the girls.
