Jerry's World

OU's first game this season was supposed to be a breeze little did we know what was ahead. Here are some pictures I took at Jerry's World in Dallas.

Reagan Library

Sorry for such a long hiatus from blogging. Here is some more pictures from my trip to California this summer. This post is dedicated to the Reagan Presidential Library. It was such a cool place. We ran out of time there so we had to hurry through the last part of the museum -which happened to be the most interesting part covering Reagan's presidency.

The Oval Office

President Reagan's limo

His nickname was the Gipper

This is made entirely of jelly beans (Reagan's favorite food)

Marine One

My commie friend

Air Force One (I had a professor who actually flew this plane)

The tour guide apparently didn't understand our question about this plane. We asked why it was there -maybe some special significance? She told us it was a fighter jet- one that shoots guns and stuff. I just had to laugh to myself -apparently she thought we were little kids.

The blue indicates where Reagan won. Talk about a landslide victory!

This statute is at the front door. It is from the Cowboy Hall of Fame

Fun Toy

I found this awhile ago on failblog.org. I thought it was pretty funny.

La Brea Tar Pits

The La Brea tar pits was my favorite part of the trip. I wish we had more time to see everything they have. I was disappointed that all the pits had fences around them (so people don't kill themselves). I couldn't get a good picture of any of them because of the type of fence they used. There was one area with about three small spots where the tar was coming up that wasn't fenced off. I played with it for a little bit with a stick. Definitely not something you want to get on your clothes.

I have a lot more pictures from here but I put some of my favorites on here.

One of the tar pits. (Its actually not tar its asphalt)

This is the other side of the same pit. See the red artwork thing in the background? The road is just behind it and runs right next to the pit.

Pit 91 where they are still excavating animal bones


This was an exhibit to show how sticky the tar is. It was so difficult to pull those bars up. They even modified the tar in it so people could actually move them...apparently it was impossible for anyone to move them until they "thinned" it out a little.

I think these were eagle bones

I'm taller than this ancient bear

This is the "fish bowl" you can watch them clean bones that they find in the pits. You may remember from season 5 of "Dirty Jobs" when Mike Rowe came here.

Hmm...A horse? I thought they said there were no horses in the Americas before the Spaniards came? I guess they will have to cross that criticism off the list. The Book of Mormon is true.

Wolf skulls, lots and lots of wolf skulls

Woolly Mammoth

American Camel

Giant Ground Sloth

Jennifer this post is mainly for you. Everyone in this post is in the same cemetery. Literally this cemetery was right down the street from Randy's Donuts. If we had not been planning on going here we never would have seen Randy's so that's my genealogy miracle story for now.
