Have you ever gotten back from vacation, and feel like you need a vacation to unwind from your other vacation?  Maybe I am the only crazy person who feels that way, but sometimes after doing a busy vaca, the hubs and I feel like we just need to get away from it all and quiet […]

With all of our Grand Teton plans quickly checked off our list, there was only one thing left to do before we started our journey home, spot a moose.  Yes, the infamous moose. Even with all of the wildlife that we had spotted in Yellowstone and here (a bald eagle, buffalo galore, osprey, deer, elk, […]

After surviving our night in the windy forest, we both felt ready to pack up and move on.  But before we said our goodbyes, we decided to squeeze in one last visit to Lamar Valley. And the second time around?  Well, it was just as magical and amazing as the first.  Much like our first visit, […]
