The drive out through the eastern entrance/exit of Yellowstone to Cody did not disappoint. It was beautiful!
Our first stop was the Buffalo Bill Center of the West museum.
Given the amount of gun shops and bbq in Cody, I was bracing myself for a real macho 'yay cowboys and railroads' sort of experience. However, it was a fantastic museum that was really well done.
The kids were hooked at the start with the Wild Bill hologram welcoming them.
The collection of western artifacts, with good descriptions of their importance, was super interesting.
The Peregrine Falcon was someone's favorite.
Loved seeing the Annie Oakley exhibit!
Yes, there were lots of gunslinger, entertainer, and outlaw displays. But also lots of exhibits on the natural environment and Native Americans. The images and artistry had a lot of impact.
There was so much to see, that we thought we may never finish. Exhaustion led to this being declared the last exhibit they would look at.
After walking around town, picking up some salsa and looking at the requisite tourist shops, we succumbed to the necessary bbq dinner. Thumbs up for Bubba's!
