jackson hole: aka a little bit of heaven

our family vacation this year was jackson hole. the drive through wyoming to get to it was less than pleasant, although beth was a champion, thanks to a good friend lending us their car dvd kit. but jackson hole itself was a dream. our condo was nestled right up against the base of the amazing teton mountains, and we spent lots o' time (though still not enough) in the national park. amazingly beautiful place. awe inspiring. it was awesome. i wish we could have spent a whole other week, but alas, we live in the real world where jobs have to be had and money made. even still, the time with my family could not be beat. the laughter that abounds is unprecedented, and i love that we get along so well and love being together. no seriously guys, this was the best.family.reuion.ever.

all the hopes i had and high expectations for this place were absolutely met. there were lots of cowboys, incredible mountain views and lots of t-shirt shops and ice cream parlors. it was perfect. a few shots from this really spectacular hike we did our first day there:














and yes. we totally went to a chuckwagon show. it was perfectly entertaining. not so much hank's gig. but i loved it. to me, it was classic jackson hole.
