We are hanging out in a hotel room in Missoula, Montana. Awesome room service pizza from Mackenzie River Pizza Company was just delivered, everyone is in PJ's, and we've already hit the pool. While in Yellowstone, understandably, we were in a wifi free zone, so I haven't had a chance until now to upload photos. The pictures speak volumes, and I want to spend some time relaxing, but some of the highlights were:
-Seeing a bear digging for grubs on our way out of the park this morning.
-Driving down the road between two halves of a bison herd as they walked among and around the cars.
-Seeing Old Faithful, and one of the other area geysers that erupted unexpectedly while we were waiting.
-The sun coming out after we took a rainy trip to Artist Point.
-Seeing baby elk, bears, and bison.
-Seeing the park bloom - the wildflowers were lovely.
-Hiking up a hill on the Fairy Falls trail for a gorgeous view of Grand Prismatic Spring.
-Seeing the amazing colors of the geothermic pools.
A couple small low lights:
-Oy, are those roads narrow and thousands of thousands of feet in the air. Nerve wracking to drive!
-The food was overpriced and not very good.
Also, we are now only missing three states in the license plate game. Guess which ones?
It was amazing, and we're all glad we went. After 6 days of camping, we're also all glad we're in a hotel room with electricity and wifi and television. I know, we're pathetic!
Now, for the good stuff - pictures! Here's some flora and fauna:
