After a hearty breakfast the next morning, we set off north. We stopped at Fossil Butte and spent more time there than we thought we would. It turns out that both Al and I are science nerds and we had a hard time turning away from the incredible fossils they have on display at the visitor's center. If you go, be sure to watch the film as it's very educational and helps explain the uniqueness of the surrounding lands.

Storms chased us all the way to the Grand Tetons National Park, which is where Al booked us into a cabin on Coulter Bay, not far from Jacob's Lake. The cabin was cozy and warm and we were so thrilled to finally be able to unpack for a few days. I walked around the bay a little bit, admiring the view while Al rustled up some coffee from the camp store nearby. It was a great day to arrive.

Next morning, we drove the 30 miles into Yellowstone National Park. It was a cloudy and foggy and made our entry to the park full of mystery. We could barely see the tops of the trees for all the mist that moved slowly across the road. It was amazing. We stopped at FIRST PARK and strolled the boardwalk along Yellowstone Lake. The thermals were amazing and were all the more dramatic because it was very cold outside that day! Some moose watched us sightsee and didn't seem to mind when we took their photo.
