A Lazy Day with Buffalo Bill

A low key day was in store for us today. We had a lazy start this morning and when we got moving we went to a coffee shop to get caught up on Email and of course update blog posts. After that we headed to the Buffalo Bill Cody museum for day 2 of this huge and wonderful museum.image Today was the gun exhibit. It took up half of the museum. Two floors! There were riffles,image image pistols,image machine guns, big guns, small guns, tini tiny guns, & guns that didn’t look like guns. You name it, they had it. Some of the guns dated back to the 1400s! Some were so ornate they looked like they were a work of art, and I guess they really are. There were many mounts in the exhibit as well and guns were used to get them. LOLimage Even though Tommy is not a big gun kind of guy, he does love looking at them, seeing how they have evolved through the years and the different type of guns there are. We met an Australian couple, Suzy and Lawrie, she was on the hunt for Clint Eastwood’s “make my day” gun. Funny how an American movie is known all over the world and how some lines stay etched in our minds.

We were going to have a fish fry tonight, with the Halibut we caught in Alaska, and a campfire but when we came out of the museum this evening the wind was blowing and it was 25 degrees colder than when we went in. Plan change – we will have fish tomorrow night after the rodeo.
