Yesterday for my birthday Hannah bought me candy at every gas station and store in yellowstone ( we drove around the entire park) and let me listen to GLEE non-stop the entire time. There were multiple repeats of "total eclipse of the heart" and I sang along at the top of my lungs each time.
Yellowstone is huge, and dare I say it, over-rated. it's beautiful, but as hannah says, feels more like disneyland or the san diego zoo. there are cars and people everywhere all the time. If someone sees a bear, deer, elk, moose or bison they feel the need to pull over, park, climb out and take pictures for 20 minutes. Causing huge back-ups etc. I mean yes the mother bear with her two cubs is adorable but geesh, do you really need to stop for a deer? yes, i believe i am getting slightly grumpy and ready to be home. i did love all the souvenir shops in the park and couldn't resist a few bracelets and a youth wolf tee-shirt among other things. We left yellowstone this morning and drove through the incredible grand tetons. I would have loved to have driven through yellowstone and camped here but oh well. We pitched our tent about 10 miles out of Jackson at Altherton Creek and the campsite is, perfect. right on the lake and we have the run of it to ourselves.
Now we're in Jackson which is amazing, but a little too touristy for my tastes. no great thrift stores yet! we don't have any exciting plans, just swimming tonight and maybe being crazy and driving the whole way home tomorrow? if not, we'll camp in nevada.
