The Quest For Megalodon Day 7


Leaving Summerville this morning was challenging. We just wanted to go back to the dig sites! However, we knew it was time for us to start the second part of our trip, the long drive home! Of course, we have quite a few days of exploring ahead of us, but we have completed our dig and quest! 
(Well, at least for now!)


We split up our driving today with a trip to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. This aquarium is by far our favorite of the aquariums we have been to so far. 


Dane's gaming buddy, "Tacko" met us at the aquarium for the afternoon. It was nice to see her again! 





The tank with the whale shark is my favorite. We went through that section twice. It was pretty busy there today! I also went live on and off throughout the day. Our buddy Liv was sad that she was not on this trip with us, so I made sure to "go live" so she could participate in today from afar! 



After the aquarium, we drove north to Chattanooga for the night. 
However, we had a "pit stop" at Buc-ees on the way.

Cruisin' to Alaska & Visiting Vancouver- Day 9

Image
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!

On the Hunt For Dinosaurs Once Again! Day 8

Image
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!

On the Hunt For Dinosaurs Once Again! Day 2

Image
This morning started with some rain in Superior, Wisconsin. We had breakfast at hotel and then started our trek further west. Our first stop was in Perham, Minnesota. We didn't know that it was the self proclaimed turtle racing capital of the world. The troll portal was in a small pocket park that had some really cool murals and artistic turtles.  After finding the portal, we continued our journey west with a stop to see Jacob Everear. He is troll number 134 made by Thomas Dambo. If you are not familiar with him, he is a Danish artist who makes sculptures out of reclaimed wood. His trolls have become quite popular all over the world. You can learn more on his website here. While we were in the area, we found out that Frazee is also the home of the World's Largest Turkey, so of course we had to stop there first.  Today's trolls are part of Project 412 in the greater Detroit Lakes area. We did not see all of the trolls or portals today, but we did manage to see 4 of them an...
