Our first major destination was The Grand Tetons. We were not disappointed! The mountain peaks are awesome! The weather has been great, even with a few sprinkles mixed with sunshine a couple afternoons. We were finally able to relax a bit, take some short hikes and bike rides, enjoy eating every meal outdoors, play games, read. One of our picnics was by a stream, watching a moose across the stream watch us. It moved only slightly the whole time we were there. On Sunday we enjoyed taking a ferry across Jenny Lake, and hiking up to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. As Christ Church was beginning their worship on that Sunday, we were at Inspiration Point being filled with spirit. We even sang a few hymns of praise and thanksgiving! We also went to the Moose Visitor Center that had just opened on Saturday. We avoided going on Saturday, even though we could have seen Dick Cheney, as well as the Secretary of the Interior and other top officials. We understand there was a protest going on in Jackson – we would rather have been part of that, given the lack of support by this Administration for natural resources!

Hi you two,
So good to catch up on your trip. I hadn't read your blog in a few weeks and wow! Thanks for sharing your experiences and the great pictures.
Two weeks ago, I spent 3 days in Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite, kind of my last hoorah before the semester started up again. Another beautiful place.
Aren't we fortunate to live in this magnificent country and to have the resources to travel.
Thinking of you and missing you. Enjoy the family! Glo
