for our first summer vacation at the end of June. It was a revisit for me, but a first for my bf. During the trip, there were a couple unforgettable moments, like when it was pouring cats and dogs at Grand Teton, the unbelievable amount of day light we had (this pix was taken at ~9PM), and the shear amount of animals we ran into metaphorically of course (bison, stag, fox/ wolf, yellow bellied marmot, bald head eagle, etc.)
As always, there was lots of driving. Thankfully, my bf took care of most of that. And lots of chinese food. I even ran into a Taiwanese restaurant owner in Wyoming somewhere. That, was unexpected. The hotels, were interesting. Apparently, Holiday Inn/ Best Western gave free bugs for a stay. Who knew.
The most unexpected part, was how I got food poisoning two days into the trip from SFWY soup. My bf was very worried, as I spent most of my nights awake. Thankfully, Yellowstone had onsite clinics which was part of my PPO network. I was dispensed with antibiotics, and sent on my way. Happy to report that I am back on normal food now. No more Gatorade/ apple sauce for me.
We were going to go to Canada as well, but simply ran out of time. Needless to say, we sure am glad to be back in our own home, bugs free.
