On our Way to Yellowstone


Today we set out for Yellowstone National Park. All 8 of us piled into the Suburban (I was skeptical, but we fit comfortably, even with all of our gear) and headed on our way. We drove through the Teton pass, and stopped in Jackson Hole, WY for lunch. That was an amazing drive! It was so incredibly beautiful. Jackson Hole is an adorable town. We will definitely have to plan a trip back there. Unfortunately, it started to rain, but that didn't stop us from snapping some great pictures. Here Bella began blazing her trail of blowouts throughout the wild west. She was going through about three outfits a day during our entire trip. Poor thing set herself up for several freezing cold wardrobe changes on the back seat of the Suburban.
After Jackson Hole, we drove through the Grand Teton National Forest and saw a moose. I think that moose gave us good luck because we saw just about every animal you can possibly see while we were in Yellowstone. We finally made it to our destination, Lake Yellowstone Lodge. We stayed in some cabins there, and went to dinner in the restaurant. That place looked like something out of the Great Gatsby. It was full of people from all different places and had a very 1920s style.
It was a fantastic day. It felt so good to finally get out and breath some fresh air. The majesty of the West is not like anything else, and it just made us all feel a little more free being out there.
