Wyoming : Wildlife Safari

On our second full day in Jackson Hole , we were so excited to go on a Wildlife Safari with our guide Jody. 

We started out very early to Grand Teton National Park, so Annie used the first photo stops as nap times.

I made sure Annie was awake for our first animal siting. Look Annie! Its a Moose! Annie wanted to know where its antlers were. I explained it is a girl Moose. Annie was not impressed.

On our next stop Annie barked - Look Rosy, it's a Buffalo ! I explained to Annie that it is called a Bison. At that point she barked that we love Bison treats! I told her to shhhh. She shouldn't bark about that right now.

Our next stop was the most exciting. We saw a Grizzly Bear and her cubs! I told Annie we need to be really careful. She told me not to worry, she brought the Bear Spray. Good thinking Annie!

Our final stop was to see the beautiful wildflowers. What a fab day !

Wyoming: Jenny Lake

On the first day of our Jackson Hole virtual vacation we went to Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park.  It is an absolutely fab place to hike !  

We hiked along the path and then came to that dreaded "no pets" sign on the bridge. So I told Annie, that since she can't hike, I won't either. Then she pointed out a nearby sign that said "keep off bridge while horses are crossing". 

She wanted to know why pet horses are allowed, but not pet dogs. She had a good point. I told her we will ask the ranger when we see him (we never did see a ranger).

So instead, we decided to go boating on the lake. We took a one hour scenic cruise learning all about the area's history and geology and the flora and fauna around the lake.

When we got off the boat, Annie saw a picnic table. She suggested that we have a delicious picnic. I told her that it was a fabulous idea, except we don't have food. She barked that our vacation is virtual so she is eating hot dogs. Again, she has a point.! 

That was a full exhausting day! I wonder what we will do next in Jackson Hole?!

Jackson Hole, Wyoming : Arrival

Can you believe Mommy went on a trip again without me and Annie? This time she went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming ! So I told Annie that we need to imagine that we went with Mommy. We started in the cute town of Jackson at the Antler Gates.

Then we walked around the Town Square. Annie wanted to take a carriage ride. I told her we needed to check into the hotel. 

Once we got to our room at the Mountain Modern, we both wanted the bed by the window. But I told Annie I of course had first dibs.

Before bed we chatted about all the things we are going to do in Jackson Hole! Can't wait till morning!
