"We're goin' to Jackson..."

This last weekend Ashley, Brian and I made a trip to Yellowstone before the bad weather came around. It was so fun! Brian's taste of music is very unique... he had us listen to some Dean Martin, James Taylor, and who knows what else. As we entered Jackson Hole, we sang along with Johnny Cash and June Carter to "Jackson." That song is a CLASSIC. Every time I think of Johnny and June, I think of Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman (I know, I know, don't judge. I'm a fan of the good-looking Jane Seymore and Mt. man Sully). They were guest stars a couple times on the show. So yeah, that was tender.


When we arrived in Jackson, we obviously needed to eat. We ate at Mountain High Pizza Pie and it was pretty much life-changing. We got the bacon ranch pizza (I think). My mouth was weeping! We walked around a bit, looking at a few different shops and Brian's favorite art gallery. After our short visit in Jackson, we headed out!





























In Yellowstone, we went to a bunch of cool sites and waterfalls. On our way, we stopped off at the Teton View Lodge (or something to that affect) and got the best view of the Tetons! It was beautiful! I couldn't capture how it looked on my camera.










After all of our stops it got dark, so we decided it was time to head home. As we're driving along, Brian suddenly pulls off of the road and stops the car. Ash and I were so confused... I thought he had to go to the bathroom. He got out of the car, pulled out some blankets from the back, and said, "we're going star gazing!" We walked through some trees and sat in front of a lake... or a river. I wasn't sure because it was dark. We sat on this tree log with our blankets and just gazed up into the sky. SO amazing. After a while, we started taking pictures... and it got kinda crazy. We would say an emotion, and then quickly take the picture. We were pretty much blinded because of the bright flash. We were laughing so hard I was crying. I will never forget this trip!
