They had beautiful warm flannel blankets with Native designs as much as I would have liked to buy the wool blankets I found the flannel blankets very affordable and to my surprise they are still warm and fluffy and have become my children's #1 favorite blankets. They have not faded the stitching has not come unraveled and I bought more for all 10 of my children! Still beautiful and warm 3 years and many washings later.

By way of the Dinosaur National Monument and a short shuttle ride, I was face to face with real dinosaur bones. There were a few bones that guests are allowed to touch too! The wall has been surrounded by a building to preserve it and make it easier to access. I was equally fascinated by the historical pictures that show when these fossils were found and the people many years ago that flocked to enjoy them. Especially impressive were the women in the floor length dresses, as was the fashion in those days, walking along the rocks to get a glimpse of the massive artifacts. They've done a nice job to preserve this site and make it available to interested people, like myself. I'm glad I made the trip!
