Today we departed West Yellowstone, MT and vowed to come back! We had such a great time from the snowmobiling to the hotel stay. According to all we talked to, it is a spectacular showplace in the spring and summer.
We got to see lots more snow on the roads, houses, farms and trees than we saw Monday....pictures have been uploaded - click here to see the white wonders!
I got to drive in snow (caked on the ground.....ugh) as well as drive during a blowing snow storm which, while it is not one of my favorite things to do, I can say that I caused no damage to the rental car, nor did I scare any of the occupants of same rental car! Did you know that the speed limit in Idaho and Utah is 75 mpg? And yes, they do know how to drive up here at that speed!
We lunched in Pocatello, Idaho on Idaho Famous Potatoes.....mine was a baker as was Chuck's and Rachel and Ryan had mashed with white gravy.....I also had Idaho trout and it was fresh and delicious! Chuck tried the chicken fried steak...but had no comment on it....but I can tell it was not as good as a Texas chicken fried steak!
We made it to just north of Salt Lake City and found our hotel and much to Rachel's disgust, Mom had committed the ultimate sin in her eyes.....the hotel had an outdoor swimming pool - and it was CLOSED for the season. Boy, I had to promise to change our reservations for Sunday night as we were scheduled to stay in this same hotel......must remember that indoor swimming pool is number one on the list.....oh well, I have already made the change and confirmed to her that tonight should be the only night that she will not get to swim. I think that child was a fish in a former life!
Tomorrow we head south to Cedar City for two days to go explore Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park. We will also try to see several other national monuments and historical sites. (And just in case you are wondering, yes, the hotels we are staying in for the rest of the trip DO have indoor swimming pools! :)
Stay tuned for more frolicking.....we're enjoying ourselves!
