(Sunset over Bear Lake, Idaho.)This is my (Jeff) first attempt at blogging. I think my wife is very excited that i am contributing because she is hovering over my shoulder to teach me everything she knows, it's cute. For labor day weekend I wanted to take my gorgeous wife to somewhere she had never been so i took her to Paris.
(To the left is the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.)
(To the right is the Not-So-Eiffel-Tower in Paris, Idaho)
As you can see above there are some differences between the two Paris'. and you will never guess which one we visited. O.K. I will tell you we visited the 5-Star Not-So-Eiffel-Tower in Paris, Idaho. Melissa described it as being one of her most memorable experiences of all time and highly recommends that you book your reservation now.(below are some pictures of the accommodations)
After we got settled in and unpacked in the luxurious bed and breakfast, (featured above) room service arrived so we decided to step out to grab a bite to eat and take a dip in the pool, while they were tidying up the place.
(Above: Jeff and the Marvelously Mesmerizing Melissa enjoying Bear Lake's food and fun)The pool was very spacious but i think the heating element was broken. the water was so cold Melissa couldn't stand to touch it even with her bum (see picture above). After we had had all the fun we could handle we returned to Paris... Idaho to sleep the night away in the luxury.
Note to those that care: some of the above information may be exaggerated.

Yellowstone.........................................................
The Road into Yellowstone from the South Entrance
like the crack in the windshield?The Teton Mountains
Many much moosen! (but I think they were actually elk)
And many buffalos, we wanted to see lions, tigers, or bears oh my, but no, we only saw many much baffalo....
Old Faithful!
the walkabout around old faithful, all the geysers and such. A foreigner behind us asked if she could take a picture of us because we just looked so "qute"
One of the bigger mud valcanoes that we saw, the bubbles looked like something out of the Flinstones. it smelt like rotten eggs or FARTS! GROSS!
Our trip to Yellowstone was very spontaneous, we had talked about going for ages, but we weren't sure if we were actually going to go camping or not because it was Labor Day weekend, all the spots may be taken and what not, even though we packed, we didn't pack as much as we could of if we had just stopped to really think what we needed.
1. don't pack two sleeping bags- we only need one
2. we don't need padding- we're ruffing it
3. it won't be cold-bring only two blankets-we'll share
4. pack matches but don't bring wood
5. bring stuff for smores-but don't bother to bring hangers, we'll use sticks
It rained. It poured while we were setting up the tent and we didn't really pack rain gear either. :)
Even though our tent was purple, this is a pretty good picture of what it looked like after we set up our tent.
Even though it was cold, it was wet (it rained), there was no dry wood for fire or for smores, we bought subway and a few muffins for dinner and breakfast the day before so we were set, but rocks were uncomfortable to sleep on, and the one sleeping bag was way too small for the two of us to sleep restfully in, we really had fun and memorable time camping in the rain at Yellowstone National Park, I wouldn't change a thing about it, we laughed, we got wet, we cuddled, it was fun being out there with my hubby! However next time we will plan more strategically- at least bring padding to sleep on. Our trip was very fun and spontaneous!
the next day we drove around to see all that Yellowstone had to offer....
a petrified tree
a waterfall... obviously
Mammoth Hot Springs
the trees look dead, but they are not, they are actually growing out of the sulfer geyser!
Our Vacation was Awesome and Memorable!
