After a terrific breakfast at
Papermill Place Restaurant we took a short drive to Dinosaur Land. This s a really cool place that is now in it's 50th year. It's an offbeat, family friendly place. Some of the sculptures are showing their age which adds to the character of the attraction. Some are cartoony and remind me of a something from a
Gumby claymation show. Read more about the place in this
The Washington Post article. It's actually in a place called White Post, VA. The following is a selection of photos we snapped during the hour and a half we spent there.
