This Is The Place!

Last Wednesday Brent got off work a couple hours early, so we went to pick him up. We had a couple hours to play before going to Theron and Lincon's birthday party, so we went to the This Is The Place monument. We arrived along with a crazy but thankfully brief storm. There were a lot of statues we were able to see and learn about. We didn't go into the village because we didn't have that much time. We'll have to plan a day for that another time.




The Pony Express Monument

After our visit, we still had some time to kill, so we found the Fort Douglas Museum. We didn't know what they'd have or if it would be free, but we were happy with the result. They have an open park area with a bunch of cannons and tanks and helicopters that have been used over the years. They even had a cannon from the Civil War! It was really neat. Of course the batteries on my camera died. At least I got one picture.
