tourists

Today the plan was to run around and do some of the tourist'y things we've never done...or things we hadn't done in a long time, anyway!! But first, we had to make a stop at the music store to pick up Emma's trombone for band...which starts on Wednesday. Yes, the trombone. She could have stopped there, gone home and been perfectly happy, but the rest of us wanted to see some sights.

So, we got Emma all squared away and headed up the hill to Buffalo Bill's Grave. It was great weather and we enjoyed walking up to the grave (with our ghost meter, of course..which beeped a couple of times thanks to the nearby radio towers), watching the hang gliders off in the distance, perusing the massive (and I mean massive) gift shop and eating yummy buffalo stew and burgers in the cafe...

ghost hunting...


Once we had our fill of Bill, we drove down the hill a ways to the Mother Cabrini Shrine...and hiked up the stairs (373) all the way to the top! Some view!! Some day!!
