On our way down toward Manitou Springs, we decided a proper Colorado road trip wouldn't be complete without a detour into deep time.

We stopped in Woodland Park to check out the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, which turned out to be an absolute hit for everyone in the crew.

Between life-sized outdoor predators eager for a photo op, towering fossil skeletons, and plenty of dramatic poses, we managed to make it through the museum without actually becoming prehistoric lunch.

A fun time was had by all, even us old guys!

Wherever your travels take you today, may you always find time for a fun, oversized detour along the road.
