The Road Trip that Nina and I went on, and that I spoke of previously was awesome! It was a long drive to Denver but we made it straight through, alternating drives. We stayed a night in Denver with Nina's friend Liz. Ate at a great breakfast cafe where the weather was beautiful! That afternoon we proceeded up to Vail to stay with Nina's friend Dave. He had a huge feast waiting for us when we got up there.
The next day he took us around Beaver Creek and introduced us to the right people to get a job at the mountain. His nine year tenure as ski patrol DEFINETLY helped our chances of getting a job. That night we hung out in the Hot Tub and took it easy as the following day we had a 6 hour drive up to Evanston, WY.
We woke up that morning, and headed up to WY for Nina's Sister's Wedding. We arrived for the Rehersal and Dinner. Dinner was great fun! We had a feast of BBQ and Seafood dumped on our table and it was up to us to eat our way out. So fun and DElicious!
Had a long Saturday as we helped set up for the wedding. The wedding was a lot of fun! Congrats Clay and Mandy Flint!! After a long Saturday we turned around Sunday morning and headed up to Grand Teton National Park for our three night adventure in wilderness....
We arrived late, and talked to one of the park rangers and found out our three night adventure would realistically take us 5 nights. This we were not expecting, but were willing to give it a go! We hiked 1 mile in and camped. 12 miles was going to be our next day, but only made it 10. We had a looooong lunch at Marion Lake, and decided to camp there for the night and hike out the next day. Two nights in and a total of 20mi it was exhausting. We were happy with our decision to get out early.
As we FINALLY made it back to our car we were greatful we made it out safely. Spent a night dancing to blue grass music in Jackson, woke up to enjoy a nice breakfast in town and some shopping and headed out to the Black Hills of South Dakota. A nine hour drive to get there and crashed a second night in the car. We drove around the Black Hills. Visiting such monuments as Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore(well we saw it from far away). We proceeded from there through Minesotta and home, with one last stop at the Wilderness in The Wisconsin Dells.
A two week advenutre....and glad to be home. Thanks for everyone's prayers! We had no car troubles and a ton of fun!!!
