Date Day in Jackson, Wyoming

My family offered to watch the kids for the day so that we could have
a "Date Day". We drove up to Jackson, Wyoming which is just over
two hours from my Dad's house. Patrick had never been to Jackson,
so I was excited for him to see this cool town. We enjoyed lunch,
a little shopping and a stagecoach ride around town. After a few
hours in town we drove up to Grand Teton National Park. We did
a hike around lake Jenny. It was beautiful up there. After driving
in the park for a bit we headed back to Jackson for dinner.
WE found a very cool steak house called The Gun Barrel. We dined
on Buffalo prime rib which was very tasty. Before driving back
to my Dad's we stopped near the snake river to take in some more
awesome views. It was a great day a very much appreciated. We rarely
get time together just the two of us, so this was really nice.

Dairy Farm Tour

I thought a Dairy tour might be fun for the kids. We drove somewhere out in
the middle of nowhere (ok it was somewhere past American Falls). We toured
a Dairy Farm that makes cheese. It was interesting, and we bought some
fresh local made cheese too.

I call this picture : You wanna fresh one?

Idaho Falls

We drove up to Idaho Falls so we could go to the Museum of Idaho and
see the Titanic exhibit. It was very cool! Lots of artifacts and
pictures. I think the kids enjoyed the wall of ice that was on display
that people were encouraged to touch to give you an idea of just how
cold the waters were the night the ship sunk. After we finished up
at the museum we went to lunch at a really cool Brewery. With full
bellies we took a walk on the green belt along the water. We all
enjoyed the falls. The kids enjoyed feeding the geese and ducks
as well. After our walk we enjoyed snow cones at a really cool train
caboose ice cream place. It was a great day in Idaho Falls.

So... I'm just about done packing. We are leaving first thing
in the morning on our long drive to Idaho. It will be so nice
to get away.
