Today was the best day so far! In the morning my parents went on a run through Jackson and had a great time! We kind of just hung around till about noon and then headed off. We drove through Grand Tetons National Park which was just gorgeous. Once we finally got to Yellowstone, we stopped at Grand Village to get gas and then drove to Old Faithful. We got there a while before it was supposed to erupt next so we went and checked out the visitors center for a while. After about a half hour, we went outside with the rest of a couple hundred people that had gathered around the geyser and just waited. After about five minutes it started erupting and it was SO beautiful. It was one of the most amazing, fantastic, awesome things I have ever seen. When it was over my dad said, "I think that was on my bucket list." Then we headed to some more geysers up the road. They didn't erupt as big as Old Faithful but they were still fun to look at. We went on this thing kind of like a boardwalk that went in a big loop around several hydrothermal pools that were such a pretty blue color (: After that we kept driving and got stuck in our first "critter jam" but it was only a deer... but so far we have seen an elk, a moose, bald eagle, fox, deer, and pronghorn antelope! Not bad for one day! When we finally got to our hotel-which was in Montana, the only state my dad hasn't been to- we went out to dinner and now we're just chilling in the hotel room. My dad went out to explore some more though, of course. As for tomorrow, we get to be in Yellowstone for one more day (:
