jackson hole

     back in the middle of june landon and I drove out to a little town named Teton Village in Jackson Hole. Teton Village is about 30 minutes from Jackson and is known for its ski resort, it is so beautiful there! {although the weather never seems to get above the high 70's in the summer which means I could never live there.} My cousins live in a beautiful home right on the mountain with a lot of land so it was a lot of fun to explore.

     While we were in Jackson we had to go visit downtown. Down town has a bunch of little shops from diners to art stores and then a whole bunch of 'saloons'. One of my favorite shops is called Vom Fass. Its a shop full of beautifully lined casks that contain vinegars, oils and wines of all sorts. It was one of the funnest shops I had ever been to, I'm thinking we might need one here in Park City!

     In the middle of down town there is a big square grassy field and on each corner there is an arch made out of husks. It totally made it feel like a country town.

     Next on our list of things to do was visit old faithful. So me not knowing anything about old faithful, I was thinking it was going to be a huge waterfall coming off of a sweet mountain side or something.. obviously I was totally wrong. After our 4 hour drive through the yellow stone national park we finally got to old faithful and lo and behold, it was a geiser. Dont get me wrong, I wasnt disappointed, It just wasnt what I was expecting. I thought it was pretty neat.

on the drive out of Yellow Stone we had to stop to take picture with the cool waterfalls we saw..

     and then once we got back to my cousins house landon and I drove home. It was a nice little getaway, especially because it had been years since I had been to my cousins home. I think we will visit more often, as long as they'll take us :)
