The Adventure Home...seen thru a few tears!

After leaving Idaho Falls we drove east...we had no plans, no itinerary, no son (with us). So poor Scott took on the task of making a little vacation out of his poor wife's pain, and I must admit it was fun!
When I wiped away the mascara and tears from my eyes, I found we were in Jackson Hole Wyoming. Since I was not up to the usual Super 8 hotel...we got a room at the beautiful Wyoming Inn. We spent the day shopping in downtown then decided to go for a drive, and drive we did. Right into Yellowstone National Park!
The traffic and construction made for a slow trip, but we loved the sights at our destination, Old Faithful (which erupts every 90 minutes). We took a 4 mile hike from Old Faithful up the mountain and through the geysers. We saw a coyote that was looking over the Old Faithful lodge, he was planning his next meal.
We headed back to Jackson Hole that night, went out to dinner then set our sites on the next adventure...tomorrow!

When we checked out of the hotel the next morning the hotel employee asked us where we were headed, we said,

"We're not sure, any suggestions"?

She pulled out a map and we headed to Teton Village! It was beautiful!

We booked tram tickets for a ride of a lifetime.

We climbed 4,139 feet to summit Rendezvous Mountain.
We headed down Corbets Trail a 2 mile hike. The view was incredible, we were surprised we could text our kids from the top of this mountain...but we did, we sent pictures to them!

It was a new adventure and a new life Scott and I were headed on...no kids, the dynamics of our family had changed. I was feeling so overwhelmed with the thought of an empty nest, but on this trip Scott showed me that our nest was not empty, it just had more room for growth, for new adventures and someday we would need more nest room for two more kids...in-laws, of the younger kind. I started to feel a little sorry for whoever that son and daughter in-law might be...hope they'll know I'm the adventurous kind!
