Wyoming Escape - our final vacation as a family of 2!!

OLD FAITHFUL!!

For our final vacation as a family of 2 we went to Jackson Hole, WY. I actually did my veterinary CE at a conference in town and we took a few extra days to turn the trip into a fun vacation. It's kind of scary to think this will be the last airplane trip we will take without a baby and all the necessary gear!


Here are some fantastic views of Yellowstone National Park that we were able to enjoy!



We spent one of our afternoons taking a beautiful hike in Grand Teton National Park up to inspiration point. It was only about 2 miles, but the steps went straight up and I received alot of "are you crazy" looks from people. I guess it's not "socially acceptable" to hike when you're 6 months pregnant, but I wasn't going to miss out on any of the great views. It was one of only a couple hikes David allowed me to go on, so up we went.




































Of course one of our favorite parts of any nature trip is watching all of the animals and there was no shortage on this one. We spent lots of evenings watching the buffalo, we went on a horse ride over the canyon, and even fed a few chipmunks (of course that was David).



Finally here are a few of my favorite artsy or just plain gorgeous photos we captured while in the mountains. We really had a great time, but were ready to come home when the trip was over. Next time we will show Ella all the amazing sites and she will make our trip that much more fun and exciting.
