this week's interesting find wasn't a new find for me--it's one of my favorite museums of all time!

The Dinosaur Journey Museum in Fruita, Colorado was a genuine childhood OBSESSION of mine. Every time we were visiting family out west i'd beg my parents to make the 7 hour drive to go to this museum.

And i just had the pleasure of revisiting it with my boyfriend as an adult--it still RULES HARD!!!

It's small, but has a LOT of fossils. And, IMO, does the best job of any museum i've ever been in making you realize just how big and deadly dinos were!! From epic gorey animatronics:

(which weren't working while we visited, but are sick as fuck as statues too)

to how the skeletons are displayed at floor level so you can really appreciate just how big these guys are. Including an incredibly haunting life-size recreation of a t-rex leg that had me sweating.

tickets are only 10$ for adults! If you're ever in the area, i absolutely recommend making the trip!
