Here's some pics from my trip, guys! Hopefully Photobucket cooperates with me in how I re-size them so they're not super huge and take too much time to load. It may still take awhile since I think I'll be posting a ton, though.
My mother and I drove about 300 miles, I think, to Ely because she wanted to see the bears and wolves. The bears were super awesome because the people there would feed Honey, Teddy, and Lucky every hour and half so you were guaranteed to see at least one of them. Here's pics that I took while watching them:
Squirrels and chipmunks sneak inside and try to find scraps the bears leave:
An FYI:
The wolves weren't so great. They only feed them twice a week so there's really no reason for them to come into view. Also, unlike the bears, there's no outside area to go out to so you can better view/take pictures! I only got a few crappy ones:
On the way home we stopped at Grand Rapids, which is Judy Garland's birthplace, to see the museum dedicated to her. It isn't all that big but very interesting.
Wizard of Oz dolls from 1989:
One of the original Dorothy dresses!:
The carriage used in the movie:
Two of the UGLIEST Dorothy dolls I have ever seen (NOTE: Those are replicas of the Ruby Slippers next to them we'll get to where the originals are next):
Isn't this awful? They had an original pair of Ruby Slippers that were used in the movie and someone a few years back stole them and they haven't been seen since:
