Yellowstone day #5 ~ Tetons and headed home

Image

Image

Image
 We didn't see any moose or bears in Yellowstone, but we were headed down to the Tetons and we seen a moose and her calf, we stayed the night in Montpelier Idaho and we FINALLY saw a bear. It was running so fast up the mountain I didn't get a picture of it. 
Image
Is is a picture of the Tetons. There were so many people everywhere!!! It was a great vacation spending time with the family, I don't know if we will ever go back to Yellowstone, the animals were very sparse and there were hoards of people EVERYWHERE!!! Bold said next year we are renting an RV and going cross country, probably headed east to St. Louis and Carthage Jail. 

Yellowstone day #4 ~ Cody Wyoming/ Buffalo Bill Museum

Image
 Bold has wanted to go to this museum for a long time, so we decided this would be a great time to head over to Cody Wyoming and see it. There are like 4 museums in one building. It was really awesome, I would recommend everyone to visit it.
