Day 20

Today we are continuing our drive to Jackson Hole, Wy. The drive was not all to interesting we finally figured out how to listen to free audio books on the iphone. We drove through a lot of small towns and made it into Idaho where on the welcome sign says “Scenic Idaho”, the only thing we saw was acres of dirt and some farms. We did get to see some wind turbine farms and it was really exciting to be close to them, they are so big! We also stopped in Idaho Falls and sat in the McDonalds parking lot to use their wifi for an hour so that we could upload the blog for the past few days. It really is not all to interesting but I still love the driving days. I love to sit back and just look at all the land that there is in the world and that makes up the Continental United States. I think coming from a big city this trip has really made me realize how big the world is and how much land there is out there.

            We made it to Jackson Hole a cute little mostly tourist town now with a western flare and love for the moose. We drove past the tow to get our camp site which was right out side of the Grand Teton National Park but still had the most amazing view of the Grand Tetons. The sky was cloudy on that first night so we went into town to look around the shops and schedule our white rafting trip for the following day. It was a nice change to stroll through the little stores, there was every kind of t-shirt and knick-knack that you would find in a small tourist town. Of course we did a little shopping ourselves these stores can always get-ya. While walking around in one store, David walks over to me with a worried look on his face, I asked him what was wrong and he said “I think I ate something that I shouldn’t have”, then he pointed over to a display of a monopoly game with a bowl of popcorn sitting next to it, after he took a bite he noticed there was like red wax on some of the pieces and he was worried that this popcorn was not a sample. So we walked around trying to find out if the popcorn was sold in that store. We found popcorn and the red stuff was candy apple flavoring. We still don’t think that popcorn was for sampling, more so for looks but David got to try it.

            After walking around and it being pretty far into the trip we decided to indulge in this local restaurant we found,  a specialty grilled cheese café. If you know us then you know we love grilled cheese sandwiches. We were so excited, I got a grilled cheese sandwich with tomatoes, grilled onions and bacon and David got a Mac n’ cheese grilled cheese (as if we had not had enough Mac n’ cheese already). It was so yummy and we had a side salad, which was so amazing after eating weeks of vegetables from a can. We also indulge in the most amazing brownie that I have ever eaten. We took it back to our camp to eat while we spent the rest of the evening reading and hanging out. It stays light here until around 9:30 so we were able to enjoy the daylight even longer.
