I’m a story teller. I usually like to use my blog to record my memories and tell the stories of the places my kids and I visit. I’m not usually a reviewer, and I occasionally give tips. But this trip we had some of the best food, and it surprised me that it was mostly…
My best friend always raves about holidays in her home town. She always described it at a quaint small town with a square, and place where everyone knows everyone. The only thing is, her small town is Jackson, WY, one of the most famous “small-towns” in the country, and one that has seen a significant…
Nestled right at the feet of the Grand Tetons is a glacier lake that provides the most magnificent reflections of the majestic mountains. We had visited once before, a few years ago on a trip out to Jackson, WY, but this time we hiked part of the Jenny Lake Trail loop, and were greeted with…
Jackson, Wyoming is known as the end of the old west, the last part to be tamed and still maintains some of it’s wildness. Now, being at the entry way to the great National Parks and surrounded by a phenomenal ski area has changed it a bit. You are as likely to see art galleries…
Our trip to Wyoming was for a very special event, to see the baptism of my god-son, who was being baptized along with the three children of his other god-mother. Since the two moms grew up in Jackson and their families were still “locals”, they were able to get the local priest to come and…
The site I remembered most from my last trip to Yellowstone was the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. A powerful waterfall down a spectacular cayon filled with yellow rock and a few trees growing shocking on the steep cliffs. While most think of geysers when they think of Yellowstone, the canyon is where the park got…
After our visit to Grand Prismatic Spring, we had hoped the kids would nap on the way to the next stop, but close to 30 minutes into the drive, we realized that wasn’t going to happen. We decided to find the first picnic area for lunch. I saw a picnic area named Gibbson Falls on…
“I think anyone who goes to Yellowstone and misses Grand Prismatic Springs is stupid.” When you are given advice like that, how can you skip it? Grand Prismatic Spring is part of the Midway Geyser Basin section of the park. A popular sight, we decided to hit it up early in the day, and we’re…
A trip to Yellowstone is not complete without a visit to Old Faithful. While most geysers go off spontaneously, Old Faithful is so well known because it goes off approximately every 90 minutes, like clockwork. It’s so regular, Park rangers post timings, boardwalk and seating is placed all around it, and one of the biggest…
The drive from Bondurant Wyoming to Yellowstone National Park required us to drive through the beautiful and the thoroughly under appreciated Grand Teton National Park. My best friend grew up in the area and said her favorite spot in the park was Jenny Lake. At Jenny Lake, there is a shuttle boat which takes you…
