Road Trip: America's First Park

While we experienced a few brief showers on our last day in the park, we were so fortunate to have good weather for our entire trip. We drove the bottom half of the grand looping and made several stops. More rock skipping. Taking in the lake views. Just enjoying the drive. We grabbed lunch at the Lake Hotel Deli and ate in front of the Lake Hotel. Stinky mud pots. Hayden valley with wildlife. 

We then drove up to view the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. We saw it from afar and we also hiked right down to the brink of the falls. It is quite amazing to see all of the changing topography. We also made a couple of stops at a couple more Geyser basins. D-man really enjoyed the geysers. We made it back to the hotel around 6:30 and then grabbed dinner at the Lake House. The boys went and skipped rocks while we enjoyed the last of our drinks watching the sunset. 

We're on our way home. A long drive, but we have another audio book; and each other.
