Bison sighting! It was huge.

Visiting the Grand Teton National Park (not the same day as Yellowstone)

A clear day at the peak- the first few days were a bit cloudy

Hiking on the String Lake Trail

The view from Inspiration Point

View of the mountains from Jenny Lake

A nice relaxing lunch at Pizzeria Caldera after hiking all morning

Downtown Jackson- The famous antler arches on the right

Super tired Laney on the drive home

I only posted the pictures from my iPhone, but we'll be posting more on Facebook from our actual cameras :) It was an amazing trip and we fully intend on returning. The cabin was so relaxing and it inspired us to buy our own cabin someday!

Jackson, Wyoming Vacation- Part 2

Horseback trail riding at Mill Iron Ranch- A family owned ranch for over 30 years

Craig and his horse

View from the horse

Me and Dots! She was the best

Miniature horse- not a pony

Tired from all her adventures

Dinner at The Kitchen in downtown Jackson

Clockwise from L- Goat tenderloin, Steak tenderloin, and a giant chocolate chip cookie with ice cream in a hot skillet....YUM!!!

We found a great path that follows along the Snake River and dogs are allowed to run free off leash

First time drinking out of a river

The sun came out and you can see the Tetons in the distance!

Riding the aerial tram at Teton Village

Tram fits 100 people!- it was not that crowded on our ride up

On our way up!

View from the top- 10,000+ ft elevation

Yummy waffles after hiking around the top- Nutella and brown sugar butter- The brown sugar was the best!

My sleepy little family.

Jackson, Wyoming Vacation- Part 1

Entering the Grand Teton National Park

It has been a few weeks since we've posted anything and that's because we've been busy and we've been exploring Jackson, Wyoming! Last week Craig and I drove 9 hours to Wyoming for a week of rest and relaxation. Why Wyoming?? Here are the reasons we picked this awesome location:

1. It's driving distance! Who doesn't love a fun roadtrip?

2. Military gets free admission to all national parks- Wyoming has two: Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park

3. We get to bring Laney! (maybe this should be reason number one)

4. Jackson, Wyoming is expensive to get to if you plan on flying- the airport is itty bitty

5. It's absolutely beautiful!!!

We found an amazing little cabin through VRBO (Vacation Rental By Owner). VRBO is a great option to look into and they have properties all over the world! It's a nice alternative if you want a kitchen and a more homey feel wherever you travel.

The next few posts will be picture heavy, since I rather have the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy!
