Here are some places we saw, hope I have them all.

• ICR Creation Museum, CA.- this is a small museum. It's kind of hard to find, but it has lots of information. You start out going through a series of 3 or 4 rooms that talk about creation day by day. Then a room on the fall of man. Next about Mt. St. Helens, and the Grand Canyon. Then it goes into Egypt, about the flood and ice age, and dating. I think it took us about 1 1/2 hours, and you can collect all kinds of literature (we probably got about 30 pamphlets). Cost: FREE
• Hoover Dam, NE.- Wow, this is huge, and we just saw it from the outside. Dd-6 had an ear infection, and it was 115 outside, so we didn't get to go inside for the tours. Plan on walking just to get to the inside from the parking, especially if you are driving an RV. We would love to go and visit again and see the inside tour. Cost: ?
• Grand Canyon, AZ.- Dh and dd-18 got to go to this. I stayed at the motel with dd-6 because her ears where bothering her from driving through the mountains. They brought back lots of pictures, dh tried to convince dd to go on helicopter ride, but she wasn't falling for that. Maybe in a few years dh and I will go back, I still havn't seen this sight. Cost: I believe it was $10
• Painted Desert, AZ- This is so beautiful. God just took a paint brush and .....WOW. They have a information shop, restuarant, and suvunier shop. This is also connected to the Petrified Wood Forest , but we didn't have time to drive through it all. There was an Inn that was quite popular when  Route 66 was still being used. Cost: lunch for 3 was $25, to get into park $10
• Will Rogers Museum, OK.-This was fun, mainly because my dh remembers coming with his grandpa many many years ago. Has displays of all his saddles, 3 theater areas showing his movies, how he died. He was an author, actor, into politics. In the basement there is a childrens area where they can dress up and put on play, a puppet area ( our favorite), a short movie of his life. We really enjoyed ourselves. I think we spent easily 2 hours, and could have spent more time. About 10-15 miles out you can camp at the family property. Cost: suggested donation for family $5.

Well, I think that was it. We also visited with lots of family, but thats another story.......

So many places to see in this big beautiful country. Your family just visited many places, we want to see. We have a trip planned for Charleston, SC, in Oct. This will be DD first time going there. She can't wait to see the USS Yorktown and Fort Sumter. Maybe one day DH and I can take our dreamed about grandkids to the places you visited. Did your cousin give you feverfew for your migraines? I have taken it a time or two when I have had one. Do you know the herbs she gave you? I would be interested in finding out. All I can say about the Blackberry Cobbler is YUM-YUM!

We live about 45 minutes from Claremore. Our homeschooling group is planning a field trip to the Will Rogers Museum soon. I have been several times. Nov 4th is Will Rogers Birthday - Oklahoma's Favorite Son. If you haven't done it, do a search for some of his quotes. It was interesting that you were in SD and WA and CA and then OK?
