A trip to the big city

James and I went to the big city of Casper the other weekend to do some big city shopping :) On the way we stopped at Hell's Half Acre, a weird geologic oddity in the middle of no where. Anyway, it's where they filmed a scene in Starship Troopers apparently. More interestingly, there is archaeological evidence that the cliff was used by Native Americans for buffalo drives. You can read more about it here.

Anyway, our day in Casper was very exciting as James picked up new jeans to wear to horsemanship and I picked up some "Western professional" attire. Anyway, they highlight of it all is my super exciting new boots.

For those of you curious about what a shopping trip in the big city looks like, here's the breakdown of the "big" stores: Wal-Mart, Target, JCPenneys and Sears. The mall had a Corral West Ranchwear, blacklight mini golf, an exotic pet store (Caimans as pets? Is that even legal?), a few fantasy trinket stores (think weird electronic waterfall "art") and a few christian bookstores. Aside from clothing, we picked up a super-awesome "The Office" motivational calendar. We also stopped by Lou Tauberts, which is the coolest western store I have ever seen.
