Mini Vacation

Today we got up and went to Yellowstone for the day.  We stopped and Taco Time and got breakfast burritos and drank horchata as we drove.  We stopped at Mack's Inn to see Tony's uncle, Vance, and his family, then off to the park.  The weather was beautiful and it was fun to see the snow melting and signs of spring.  We saw elk and bison.  I was so excited to spot a wolf across the river.  We pulled over and spotted another one!  Tony took a bunch of pictures.  Later, we showed the pictures to a ranger and were disappointed to learn that they were only coyotes.... We stopped at all of the geysers between West Yellowstone and Old Faithful, and walked along the boardwalks, re-naming the geysers as we saw fit.  We watched an osprey catch a fish, ate a lot of trail mix, smelled the sulfer and had a really good day.

  1. I've not yet seen a wolf in the wild, since they now let them run rampant in WY and MT. But I have seen several pictures of them and they are HUGE.

    Maybe one day Tony will get a picture.
