Yellowstone

We just had a great weekend trip to Yellowstone.  It is such a beautiful place...magical and mysterious and amazing. I hadn't been up there since the summer of 1993 when I worked there during college.  I had a moment realizing just how quickly a big chunk of my life went by.  It is nuts really...all that has happened in that time.  The kids are at such cool ages now for traveling and trips like that.  We only had a short weekend there, so we will have to return and explore more, but it was fun. The trade off for snow and frigid temps was that we had the place to ourselves compared to the summer madness.

At the Wolf and Grizzly Discovery Center. Such awesome and beautiful animals
