Friday, April 25, 2008-Darrin and I shared a weekend away in Jackson Hole... sans les enfants! (Jack and Megan were able to share some special alone time with their grandparents, so that Darrin and I could have some adult time.)
Well on our drive up, it started to snow and a lot...hhhmmm! Despite the colder weather, we still walked around Jackson and walked through lots of stores, leisurely. Darrin showed me where he used to work and live the summers he worked up in Jackson. It was fun to see these all too familiar spots, yet see how much Jackson has grown. If you want a vacation home, it is beautiful up there and this is coming from a beach girl.
Saturday, the weather cleared up, lots of sunshine, though a little chilly. We drove out to Tetan Village and then to the Elk Reservation, where hundreds of Elk roam the fields. That night we ate at a great BBQ place (the closest BBQ you will get outside of Texas). Despite our fullness, we shared a fresh homemade piece of key lime pie-yum! It was even yellow, not green (a true sign of real key lime pie). My favorite is still from Bosten's in Boca Raton.

Sunday, April 27, 2008- We took the more scenic route on our drive home. We drove through Afton, Wyoming/Star Valley where Darrin's family is from. The yellow house is Grandma Swensen's old home. And the big tall "glacier" no clue, we just found it interesting. There were several of them. The then drove around around Bear Lake and then through Logan canyon. Fortunately, the weather was beautiful and perfect for a long (er) Sunday drive. It was so nice to get away, even just for the weekend.

In all the stress. I hope you two had a fantastic time! The pictures are way neat. One day I will have a weekend with out children. Maybe?
sounds like a lot of fun, I forgot you were going to do that.
wow! I didn't know you had that little getaway planned. How fun! Question though-when did Darrin buzz his head? It took me a second to confirm it was actually him. :)
Hey, I'm tagging you! So go to my blog for info. I can't wait to see your answers.
