Drumheller (Royal Tyrrell Museum) was an amazing museum!
We drove onto Vulcan, Alberta just for the nerdiness of it. Besides almost getting lost and running out of gas, and all the rain, it was a still a worthwhile trip. Vulcan is desperately trying to lobby for the premier of the next Star Trek movie. We asked the guide at the Vulcan welcoming center if they had a theatre, she said “well no, but we have an auditorium and we are trying to get a screen and projector”. So if you get a chance…go to their facebook site and send an email to help them.
Afterwards, we drove to Calgary and got the nastiest and most expensive hotel of our trip so far. Calgary was in the middle of their “Stampede” and all the prices were jacked up for the event. The dogs loved the room because there was plenty of floor space and nasty smells for them to rub in. The only advantage to this hotel was the closeness to downtown and patch of grass that was right outside the door. We didn’t have to leash the dogs even once – they were so good. We showered, it had a been a while, and headed to a local brew pub (Wild Wood) for a sampler of beers and local food. All 7 of their beers were great, except for the pilsner which tasted like skunky honey. We didn’t even bother to finish that one. It had been a very long day, so we headed back to the hotel.
