yellowstone...

on our drive through jackson to yellowstone:
we visited the other side of the tetons
we passed some lovely fall colors...

we also passed the turn off to yellowstone...
and even though it was over an hour in the the wrong direction... we were able to see...
more fall colors
lots of constructions. about 20 miles of it.
a big thing that could have been a big shop
and pretty mountains

i was sorta wondering what was going on when yellowstone suddenly disappeared from the mile signs.
and i kept teasing ryan that we missed a turn. and he asked me to ask the construction lady. we both kinda laughed.
but when ryan found a map to buy in dubois and told me how far away we were. suddenly it was no longer funny.
only the thought of seeing a real live buffalo could cheer up our spirits.
and when we did get there. it was a free day! so that paid for all our wasted gas.

and of course old faithful.

can you see the buffalo??

we were laughing at the people sporting their yellowstone t-shirts and matching hats at yellowstone.
and right after, we bought yellowstone t-shirts and put them on right away. mine is a little kids t-shirt. and it glows in the dark! when we were buying it, ryan asked the man if they had some in adult sizes. he was pretty bummed when the guy said no.

we were kinda in a rush so we didn't get to see much of yellowstone.
i thought it was pretty fun.
