Colorado! (Day Nine)

This morning we packed our bags and hit the road for Salt Lake City.  IT was sad to leave the luxurious place that we had called home for the past 4 days. I will miss the hot tub, the snow, the comfortable beds and all that. 
Our drive wasn't very eventful, but I do have a few photos from the day.  We stopped by a few places of interest. Dinosaur Park, in Dinosaur, Colorado (it stretches across both Colorado and Utah).
The barn on all the postcards representing Steamboat Springs, CO



Quite an interesting contrast.


Here in Dinosaur, Colorado, the street signs were even named after dinosaurs. I bet the people planning this town had some fun with it. haha



Now into Utah! 

We found the giant dinosaur! SO cool!



We found petroglyphs! So cool! These are ancient! 


And after leaving there, lots of places latched onto the "dinosaur" theme..

Random wood covered in snow.


We also then stopped by Park City, Utah where the 2002 Winter Olympics were held.  It was so cold today! (still cold, still snow on the ground).  

We made it to Salt Lake City and checked out the State Capitol. 
Quite a site! Now let's get closer to it!




On Capitol Hill, overlooking Salt Lake City.


The ceiling with the lights hanging down from the center. 




Marble!!

Brigham Young! the "man".. haha

Quite a site to see!

And off to bed. It was a long day, pretty eventful for driving all day.. Salt Lake City is cold! I can't wait to get home to warm weather and no more snow! haha
