Lions and Tigers and Bears

OK, well maybe just Bears and Alligators...

While in Misery (I mean Missouri) recently on vacation, we drove up to Springfield to visit a few places.

First Stop, GRIZZLY


You talk about cool, this place was massive, I normally drool over the catalog they send to me, so you know I drooled all over The selection of tools they have there.  The LOML even tried to convince me to buy something, I explained to her that everything I want there, is HUGE and would not have fit in the car.  It was so cool to get to visit the store and see in person some of the tools I hope to have someday

Next stop was "The Grandaddy of all Bass Pro Shops"  (thats what it says over the front door)

Let me tell you, they were not lying.  It was the biggest bass pro shops I have ever been in, and was definitely the most impressive.  Store had lakes and rivers and fish tanks all throughout.  It definitely brought the outside in.  They even had Big Al the alligator


yes, thats right, a real alligator in the store.  We walked by and thought it was fake, then it moved and took a good look at M  (probably thinking he was lunch)

Needless to say, M and I could have spent hours in this store...

These two things are reasons that the LOML is glad we dont live in springfield.  It would be tough to get through a week without visiting these 2 places.
