In June, I went with Nathan and his family to Jackson Hole for a few days. Every year they do a fun family vacation and this year it was Jackson!
Here are a few photos from our adventures. We stopped in Archer, Idaho for a Big Judd's burger and fries. I got to meet up with Krystal and Kiley too!! (A photo was taken, but I don't know which camera it was on) After Big Judds, we went to Idaho Falls and walked around to see all the water in the Snake River. It was incredible!!
 |
| Nathan tried to take a "normal" picture of me, because apparently whenever a camera is pointed in my direction, I must make a face... perhaps I will need to research this and do a post about it. |

| Cheesy grin |

| He's making fun of my goofy smiles. I love him! |
 |
| We found "Hawaiian" Ice... not really even close to the shaved ice I enjoyed in Hawaii!! |

After Idaho falls, we drove to Jackson Hole! We really enjoyed seeing all the pretty scenery It's funny because our suppose to be 5 to 6 hour drive to Jackson Hole turned into an 11 hour drive... we stopped a lot and saw a lot of pretty stuff! I love road trips! We got to Jackson around 8 pm and walked around and then went back to the hotel and hung out with the fam.
The next day we went to Yellowstone! It was June and there was still a lot of snow! But, it was surprisingly warm. We had fun looking at stuff like:
 |
| A buffalo... what' s Yellowstone without one of these big boys |
 |
| Yellowstone National Park |
 |
| Look at all that snow!! |
 |
| Tree lined streets of snowiness |
 |
| Nat and Nate in the great outdoors! |
 |
| I'm wearing shorts so it can't be that cold! |

That night we got home and were wiped out!! We took naps and then went swimming and had dinner and played games and it was awesome!
The next day we took a trip to the Grand Tetons. It was rainy and cold, so we didn't do much, but it was still fun!
 |
| We went to the Jackson Lake Lodge and had dinner at a nice little restaurant. We sat right by the window overlooking a huge field and "mountains" (they were thickly covered by clouds) It was cool because we were looking out and we saw... |
 |
| A FOX! |
 |
| This is what it looked like that day... wet, cold, wet. |
 |
| This was actually taken on our way to Yellowstone, but it is of the Tetons so i figures I would put these in here too so you can see what it is suppose to look like when it is nice and sunny out. |

| The Grand Tetons! |
We also managed to make it to the 6:00 shoot out at town center in Jackson Hole.. it was fun to watch and afterwards, we found the best place for pie!! It's called the Bunnery and I must say I would make the 6 or 11 hour drive up there just for some of that pie!
We also had one full day to spend in Jackson. It was sunny so we went swimming and walked around town. That night we went to the Bar J Wranglers. We had a dinner and a show. It was fun and if you go to Jackson, I highly recommend you do this..but get the steak or the ribs!
(These photos are on Nathan's camera, so I will post them later!)
Nathan and I left a little early because he had to work on Thursday and I had a job interview. We made one last stop at the bunnery, bought a whole chocolate pecan deliciousness pie and set off home. It took us a while because, stopping is what we do! Here are some photos of the places we saw:
 |
| Really pretty fields, mountains and trees... it started to rain/hail so we didn't get to take as many photos as we would have liked. We also stopped in Afton, Wyoming because there was this cheese factory that ended up being more like an expensive fridge full of not many kinds of cheese. |
 |
| We also stopped in Bear Lake it stopped raining and was really pretty! |
 |
| I LOVE HIM! |

All in all it was a great vacation and just what we needed... to get away!! I'm excited to see where we will end up next year!
