Old West Museum Cheyenne, Wyoming
We marked another attraction off of our Cheyenne, Wyoming Bucket List! We visited the Old West Museum! We got to peek inside one of the first RV’s! The boys wanted to know where the kids’ room was! lol This is the first time we have seen such a huge collection of wagons! We especially loved the undertaker’s wagon and the milk wagon. Grant took his weekly bath. 🙂 They played in the playroom while Patrick and I went back through and looked at some of the cool, old wagons. ... and apparently cowboys are supposed to be tough and mean. While we were there we watched a rather long (and…

Cheyenne, Wyoming Bucket List

This included a lot of informational push button displays, art installations, an unearthed dinosaur skeleton AND a jail cell with an escape hatch that led to a slide! The kids LOVED it and it made learning about Wyoming fun!…

Wyoming: First Impressions
We made it to Cheyenne, Wyoming today, Saturday, August 17. We found the campground where some of the other guys from Patrick’s work are staying and pulled in. First impressions of this place are that it looks nice… until you realize that there is barely internet and almost no Sprint cellphone service. We attempted to find the goldilocks of campgrounds here in Cheyenne, but we came up short and decided the one we are at will have to do. The others were either too far away from the job site, dusty, or way too expensive. We chose WYO campground on the East side of Cheyenne. The kids found the playground…
