Dinosaur Land!

We were having a new HVAC installed a few weeks ago (the joys of owning a home) and I needed to keep the boys out of the house all day while they worked on it (took them 10 hours). A trip to the countryside was definitely in order. And most trips to the countryside involve a stop at my favorite bakery, Red Truck. We stocked up sandwiches for later and an assortment of pastries. Oliver had his eye on a big chocolate cupcake with raspberry buttercream. He enjoyed every last bite. Of the frosting anyway.

Our next stop was Dinosaur Land! My friend Jessica had told me about this gem. A fantastic "vintage" Virginia roadside attraction in the middle of nowhere. This place was truly awesome. The dinosaurs were hilarious. And old. Oliver loved it. Simon didn't seem to notice the giant replicas. The girls saw the pictures and are dying to go. Looks like we might need a return trip.

Oliver was pretty concerned about this particular dinosaur.

And a King Kong for good measure. (Notice a tiny Oliver in his hand.)
