In-laws

Days 4- Day 11
We spent these days with my in-laws traveling about and seeing many things. We went and saw the Ashfall Fossil Beds, went to a museum, had seafood, and saw a zoo along with a few other things in their area.  Ashfall Fossil Beds is out in the country.  If you do choose to go, use your GPS.  There are signs, but since it's out in the country, the GPS was a huge help.  The cost to visit is $5 per person ages 3 and older along with a $5 vehicle entry fee (you pay when you enter the visitor's center).  There are 7 different types of animals (horses (5 types), camels (3 types), deer, rhino, dogs (3 types), turtles (2 types), and birds (3 types)) that have been found in the bed.  All of the animals died after a volcano went off in southwest Idaho.  The website has more information about the site along with more photos of what is there.
