On the hunt for Dinos!!!

Aram's first trip was to Central Oregon to John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. If you have not been it is a must for a great time. It is split in to 3 differing but beautiful landscapes, plus there is a great collection/museum of fossils found in the are---this was Jasper's favorite part! It took us a day to adjust to long hours in the car...a 4 hour trip took 8 because of stops for changing diapers, nursing, hunger, taking a break from the car, etc. but once there we had a really good time hiking and exploring the area. Stayed in a cute little hotel named Fish House Inn (strange name for a hotel in the middle of the desert) in Dayville, OR, which felt like a true ghost town but was central to other services and the park---not a lot of places to choose from so book ahead...and take snacks since there is even fewer restaurants in the area.
