What no blog on Friday? …..no internet!!!

I didn’t realize that hotel still existed that didn’t have internet, but apparently they do. We spent last night in at the Yellowstone Lake Hotel and it was like traveling back in time. In some ways, that was good. We read about the history of the hotel and talked about all the travelers over the years that had stayed there. And we had a wonderful meal topped off with a Yellowstone sundae which consists of huckleberry ice cream and pound cake. But the hotel itself is really in need of a major face lift to say that least. Even still we had a good night.

Yesterday (Friday) we woke up to rain. Bummer….. But we continued on with our plans to drive through the Tetons on our way to Yellowstone. Unfortunately the drive wasn’t quite as breath taking as it usually is as the mountains were behind a thick bank of clouds. We stopped at the Grand Teton Lodge to look around and stretch our legs for a bit. Adam cracked us up when he walked by the bank of phone booths and asked, “What are these for?”. We did a little shopping and managed to hang out long enough for the majority of the clouds to clear so we could actually see the mountains and get a good look at the awesome view.
From there we took our time driving into Yellowstone. We stopped at the West Thumb geysers and the boys had a blast walking from geyser to geyser checking it all out. Then we made it to the Yellowstone Lake hotel in time to check in and enjoy a great dinner.
