I had heard people speak of Cabelas as a vacation destination in the same breath with lighthouses, so I stopped one day and found, as you say, a hunting goods store with a lot of taxidermy. I guess it's a matter of time and perspective. A few years later, we took the kids to the Cabelas in Rogers and they still talk about it. They loved the huge aquariums and the "zoo" of unnaturally still animals. They think Cabelas is like the U of M's Bell Museum, except with a diner and some camo clothing.<br /><br />During our visit, T was wearing his camo pants and that god-awful Hawaiian shirt that makes us not walk near him when people are around. He got far enough away that he blended in with the racks of hunting clothing and I nearly had to have him paged. The only other time that he's matched his surroundings like that was at the Star Trek convention.Burning Khromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515602150819068052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823425106728311077.post-72719745080943933032010-08-02T07:35:11.194-05:002010-08-02T07:35:11.194-05:00LOL!
