Dinosaur Land

We just went to Dinosaur Land in White Post, VA. The photo-op room is now locked up and you can only go in if you rent the now dinosaur-muraled walls for a BIRTHDAY PARTY. Lame. I was really looking forward to a shot with that Frankenstein thing. . . They still should win the best postcard in America contest.

Dinosaur Land

Dinosaur Land changed my life. The Primitive Woman, is, in fact, anatomically correct under her seductive faux-fur drape. The interpretive booklet in the giftstore features commentary on male-female relations, i.e. in the description of the praying mantis it tells how the male will be eaten by the female after mating and then says something like, "what an awful thing for a man to look forward to!" It also notes that the clothes of Primitive Man & Woman are worn for warmth and durability, not for looks. Just in case anyone was wondering...
