Wagons Ho! Day 5

We started Day 5 with a sleep in.  Katlin woke me up at 8:15.  By the time we all got up and ready and had breakfast we didn't leave until around 10.  But it was kind of nice not to hurry.  We had seen some things the day before that we were suppose to see today so were in good shape.  We were going to stop at the  Golden Spike Tower  but Dan missed the exit  .  Not sure if that was on purpose or not.  Any way we made our way to North Platte and Fort Cody.
Fort Cody is kind of like Wall Drug Store.  One of those tourist places you just have to stop and see.   They boast a 20,000 piece hand carved miniature of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.
Also a two headed calf.  That little boy was realy fascinated by it.   Katlin on the other hand was repulsed.  They had lots of saddles and chaps and halters so we spent a fair amount of time here.  Then an easy drive back to Kearney for the night.    The kids went down to swim for a while and we decided to order pizza for supper and eat in the room.  We had domino's and it was pretty good but we didn't eat until about 7:30 and I should never eat Pizza that late.  I won't say I had nightmares but I sure didn't sleep as good as the night before.  This ends Day 5.
