Brian and I decided we weren't really busy last weekend, so, we packed up and went to Yellowstone! Life holds few such perfect windows of opportunity for taking vacations and enjoying one's freedom. We called it a babymoon:) I'd love to take a few more if we can.
We biked on Friday and Saturday wherever we possibly could. This was a fun way to see the park because we weren't cramped in the car and we could get places a lot faster than on foot. Watch out for wild animals thogh. I didn't see the bison on the road until we were practically right next to it.
We also swam in Firehole canyon. This was a great way to cool off in not so cold thermal heated water. At the head of the swimming hole we jumped into some deep rapids and let the river carry us down stream . It was fun, but possibly dangerous. I'd recommend a lifejacket (which of course we didn't have).
Of course we walked around many of the geysers and took all sorts of pictures.
Our camping experience was, well, different. The campground was amazingly crowded. I never knew you could shove
so many campers into such tight spaces. I'm amazed there was any room left for the trees. We had a bear roaming around the outskirts. Yikes, it was scary having to run to the bathroom at 3 A.M. Despite the crowd and the bear, we actually slept pretty well. Thanks to the electricity in the bathroom we were able to pump up a comfy air mattress. I might also note that this campsite bathroom had flushing toilets, soap, and a mirror:) Not too shabby huh?My belly is definitely looking pregnant these days! I'm not huge, but I do have a very destinctive buldge. I guess that's about right for 20 weeks, right? I'm having fun
with it. It nice that I feel so great and energized. I think I might even be up for the Mt. Timp hike we were planning on sometime in August.
