Road Trip to Wyoming! - Last week Brett and I went to Wyoming with some friends (Derek, Breezy, and their 11 month-old baby girl, Logan). We drove all night and got to Jackson Hole at 4am. Slept for a while at the Rawhide Motel, had lunch at Bunnie's (awesome, yummy restaurant/bakery in Town Square), then drove a few more hours to our cabin in Cayon Village, Yellowstone National Monument. (Thanks Becky and Andrew for the cabin they had reserved a year before! Sorry you couldn't be with us.) Spent three nights and two full days in the Park, seeing the beautiful natural sites and animals. Guess what... we finally unmistakedly felt the baby moving!!! 'Moving' is not a good word for it - going crazy in a mosh-pit was more like it! It's cuz I ate a chocolate mint icecream cone and drank a Pepsi while sitting in the heat waiting for Old Faithful to blow. Sugar and caffine made that baby hyyyyper! And you should have seen Brett's face when I put is hand on my belly. He was speechless and his mouth dropped open in disbelief. This made our day! Better than seeing a black bear and her two baby cubs eating flowers not ten feet from us! Better even than seeing a grizzly bear wandering around by an enchanted fairy-tale pond! After Old Faithful Geyser erupted, we went to Yellowstone Lake and Brett jumped in in his boxers to swim. He lasted half a minute cuz it was like ice-water. But soooooo beautiful.
Next day, we drove back down into Grand Teton National Park. Managed to find one last empty camp-site. We made camp, ate dinner, hung out in garbage bag-ponchos while an evening storm rushed through, and hung out eating smores by the fires til late. Brett and Derek drank beer and whiskey of course. You know - camping. Awesome.
Got back to Denver Monday night and have been working my ass off since. Can't wait to rest on Sunday and Monday. And on Monday.... the big ULTRASOUND APOINTMENT!....
