I loved it. And ...

After arriving at the hotel in Monterey after the children were asleep, they were very excited to explore in the morning.......particularly when they realised that there was a pool right outside of the patio doors!<br><br>Breakfast was interesting!!

... s Pasture" from development, and using her excellent photographic skills, she had designed a Natural Resources Treasure Hunt booklet to use while exploring the land. Beverly gave us a ride part way the next morning, which was on her way to work. It was going to be another hot day, though this time only in the 80s. We were hot and sweaty by the time we checked into the motel in Rialto. While we were on the way to Rialto, a man riding a bicycle stopped and asked some ...

... stairs that would challenge even the young and strong (who were not represented on this trip). On our second afternoon aboard, the train made a brief stop in Grand Junction, Colorado, the first chance we had to climb down and walk on solid earth. Grand Junction is now the forward supply point for the prehistoric remains of Supersaurus and the even more aptly named, Ultrasaurus; crocodilians (including the dreaded Fruitachampsa and his cousin Goniopholis). What a ...
