Another Adventure...

Being off track from school is quite wonderful. Yesterday Michael and I went to run a few things to the Post Office. It was our only little errand. Michael insisted that we didn't go home. So, we made a stop at the D.I. just to see if there were any unforseen treasures, but the darn place was practically empty. I've seriously never seen it that bare. Our treasure seeking was very short lived. Michael still didn't want to go home. So I told him I would take him to a geological sight.... that's right ladies and gents the Teton Dam. We began driving and once we passed this little beauty... 

....we just couldn't resist not to keep on driving. Oh Idaho! So that's what we did. We just kept on driving right past that Dam and onto bigger and better things. 

Those beauties to be exact. The drive was absolutely beautiful. There was hardly any snow compared to what I've seen in past winters, but the small amount of white with the yellow poking through was perfectly perfect!
Yup we kept on going and going and going and got closer and closer and closer. The drive was very relaxing, had great tunes, and great great company.
I loved going over the pass and seeing all the backcountry skiers out skiing and the fun trails they left behind. It only made my desire to learn to ski even greater, my fingers are still crossed that I can go sometime this season.
And here we are folks, Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We went into town square, walked around for an hour or so, sipped a hot cocoa, stopped at the candy store (if you know us you know we have a very pathetic addiction to candy and candy stores), and then got back on the road so we could make it over the slippery pass before dark.
The drive home from Jackson was just as pretty, if not more so, than the ride there. The sun was setting, the moon was rising, and our whim turned out pretty awesome. Here are a few more pictures of the ride back. Now no judging, I realize these pictures aren't really all that great, but hey I was in a moving vehicle!





And last but not least we did visit that Dam...
