Today was a day at Sea. We started the day with a presentation about Global Warming and how it is impacting Alaska. There was a really good group discussion that followed. Then in the afternoon Steve put on a great show for us and talked about the connections and experiences we made and reminded us about how important it is to bring that back to our kids. It was another #bestdayever We went to dinner in the dining room and caught a few more photos A huge shout out to the whole team for making this an amazing professional development opportunity. Including all of the dinner time magic tricks. Then... after dinner, we sat on our balcony and watched a pod of orca hunting near the shore. They were too far away for good photos, but we were excited to see them! Tomorrow we start the land portion of our vacation in Vancouver!
The last day of our adventure is always bittersweet. Generally, we are ready for our own beds, but not quite ready to leave our travels. We started our morning in Dubuque and quickly made our way to Madison. We found a Geology Museum at the University there that we had never been to. Although it was a smaller museum, it had quite a few specimens of interest. After our short stop in Madison, we made our way to Appleton. We had planned on quite a bit of shopping, but the rain and the crazy amount of traffic changed our minds. We stopped at a few places and then we were back on the road. Of course, we made a quick stop in Marinette to say a quick hi to Bigfoot and stock up on some cheese. Last night, I ordered the photos for our 4 new states this trip so that they would be ready to pick up from Walgreens when we rolled into town :). 41 states down, 9 more to go!

We started this morning out in Kemmerer, Wyoming just a little ways from the Fossil Lake Safari Quarry. We spent 4 hours with a chisel and a hammer looking through chunks of limestone to find prehistoric fossils of fish! There was the possibility of finding something else, but we only found fish today. It was super cool! After we were done "fishing" there were saws for us to cut down the fossils we found into more manageable pieces. Then, we drove through a good section of Wyoming.... We stopped for an overlook and photo op at the Red Canyon. It was absolutely stunning. Photos really do not do it justice. The landscape on our drive was amazing. We saw a lot of cows today, and there were even some goats outside the restaurant we stopped at for dinner! You can see more of our trip photos by clicking here.
