We were up leisurely but still had alarms set. It would be a full day in the car but not a 12-hour Yellowstone day drive. So we needed to be out in the morning, just not too early. As Amanda made coffee, I started the car to warm up. I met our host as I…

We woke to a snow-covered field and Mountain view this morning. I finally moseyed out of bed and down to the living room next to the wood stove. I’d planned ahead and took the remote for the stove with me to bed. As soon a I woke, I turned it on. The room temp on…

I could get used to these views here from our cabin! We had a great location in Wyoming, but trees covered most of our view of the river and mountain. Here we have a distant view overlooking the mountains through pastures. I much prefer this broader view. I was up with a cup of coffee,…

With no alarms set, we slept in, waking to a fantastic view from our loft master bedroom. When in I rustled, Amanda was pointing, saying look! I worked on catching up on multiple posts while Amanda made us lattes. She began work on the puzzle she didn’t finish in Wyoming, keeping large pieces intact the…

I checked our bags in the kitchen once getting up, I didn’t notice a mouse in them. But all my appeasement brown rice was gone, so mission accomplished! All we had left to pack was our bathroom toiletries which didn’t take long. Not packing anything in the car the night before did make for a…

Amanda was wound up again this morning; she was getting her last wind early! It would be a local day staying in the Tetons and Jackson hole area. We were up early to see wildlife. Right out of the cabin road entrance, we’d see a few moose in the distance. As we turned onto the…

We left the Old Faithful area searching for a lunch spot; all the walking worked up an appetite. Continuing up the east side of the bottom loop, we would find an idyllic location to watch the steam surge out of the earth as we chowed down on some Mediterranean wraps. I had begrudgingly roasted off…

If you are following us in real-time I’m sorry I’ve gotten a little behind on posting. We’re having too much fun to keep up with! Saturday was a down day that was as chill as possible at the cabin, followed by a night on the town. First, hitting up a Halloween fair, then hopped around…

We left the lake area and headed for the grand canyon…of Yellowstone, that is. On the way were a few more thermal features. The mud volcano area would hold many unique features. Boardwalks spanned throughout the features. We started off seeing a few small dirty, boiling geysers. Then on to the more interesting one. All…

We were up early to head to Yellowstone; checking the road closures online showed everything open except a pass I knew would be closed. Amanda made lattes; we prefer them over coffee. I will drink straight espresso or a bold coffee, but while the frother is out, why not. Amanda likes to make honey almond…
