Today was a rainy day so our itinerary was a bit
busted. But we enjoyed some of the day
– I think maybe we needed this day of rest, so God just put it in for us… even
though I would have rather been out and doing, I think we are all tired. The elevation change has put a whammy on us,
but the scenery makes up for it.
We knew it would be rainy, so we slept in a little bit and
then headed over to a sit-down breakfast joint called the Virginian. The host looked exactly like one of our
waiters from last night, but he said it wasn’t him. It could be his twin I tell ya… Breakfast was good – just good ol’American
breakfast with no frills. I loved
it. The waitress was attentive and the
food yummy.
After breakfast we drove down to the National Museum of
Wildlife Art. I’m not much of an “art”
person, but some of the pieces were astonishing. I had hoped they would have a photography
exhibit, I mean photography is art and it would fit with wildlife, but no. It was all paintings and sculpture. The museum is not large, and we were in and
out in about an hour, but it was a nice distraction from the rain.
Afterwards the sun had come out, so we thought we may try to
do one of the smaller hikes (less than ½ mile) I had planned so we drove into
the park… less than 10 ft in the bottom fell out so we turned around and decided
to grab a nap.
We all took some much-needed rest time and then went out to explore
Jackson. It was raining a bit, but the
sidewalks are covered so we wondered in the stores and looked at the expensive
cloths and art. We bought a few pieces
of inexpensive souvenir stuff before heading out to see the Jackson Hole Museum. Unfortunately, it is closed on Mondays. It was originally slated for tomorrow
afternoon in our schedule, so I didn’t think to recheck the time… ah well.
So, we headed back downtown thinking we would enjoy the
shootout they do at 6, but right before 6 it started raining again so we went
to grab some dinner instead. We ate at
Jackson Drug which is an old Drug store they have made into an ol’ time soda
shop with burgers and milk shakes. The
food was delicious. One thing I’ve
noticed out here – the portions are HUGE.
Everything I’ve been served could feed 3 people. They had a 3 IB burger on the menu and if
you could eat it in an hour it was free, otherwise it was $65. To say the least, I didn’t try.
We are now back in the condo – everyone is resting and doing
their own thing. We check out of here
tomorrow and head into the Yellowstone area.
Most of our day will still be in the Grand Tetons though, we will be
doing today’s agenda tomorrow- currently we are only at a 10% chance of rain
and it’s my prayer that goes down to 0 for the rest of the trip.
I pray you all are doing well, and we shall chat with you
all again tomorrow, until then be blessed!
