Part 2...

Published on Jun 24, 2010

After our big hike we headed into town. Checked into the hotel and headed to the pool..

Kemmerer WY happens to be where the first JcPenney store was founded they still have the original store there as well. We first did the whole tourist thing after swimming and went to the founder, James Cash Penney's home for a tour.

Was a cute little home... felt like a giant in there with the ceilings so low.

Couple pictures of the inside..

loved the back porch where they added on using the shipping crates from the store.

Afterwards we headed to the original store...

I should have taken some picture of the inside was quite cool... old tin ceilings, amazing woodwork. They have left the original pulley system that was used when money was exchanged. James Penney only trusted a handful of people with the money so they put the receipt and money in the "jar" and then like a sling shot sent it up to the top level for change.

Headed to Pizza Hut (Walker still calls it Pizza HUNT)

Then back to the hotel... favorite photo of the day... kiddos in jammies... hanging out just before bed.

Last group of photos tomorrow.
