Road Trip: Day four and five

DAY FOUR:
We drove from Ogalla, NE to Salina, KS and stayed in a hotel.

Activity:
Prairie Dog Town in Oakley, KS.

This place read like it was going to be an animal freak show. It had a couple unusual animals: two steeds with a fifth leg hanging off their backs, a dwarfed donkey....and that's it. The rest were a hodge podge of sad looking animals in cages. A box of rattle snakes "sizzling" and the grounds littered with prairie dogs popping in and out of their network of tunnels (don't trip on a hole!) proved to be a great break from the road for the boys.

A tiny prairie dog head is peeking out of its burrow. I know, hard to see.

The gift shop was classic.

DAY FIVE:
We drove from Salina, KS to Nashville, TN where we stayed in a city hotel.

Activities:
Bowling in Mt. Vernon, IL.
Watched an episode of Driver, Dine-ins and Dives for Athena's Greek Family Restaurant in Nashville and then ate there for dinner when we pulled into town. It was indeed yummy!

Ha! I love the signs in the background: "Attitude adjustment while you wait". I need that one at work! And "I don't have a gun... my Pitbull has AIDS". Nice.
