july 28

Thursday was going to be a long day full of driving, so we made sure to get on the road as soon as the tires were fixed on the suburban. We drove through Yellowstone National Park to get to our destination, South Dakota. One of our few stops in the park was this small collection of hot springs and geysers. They were bubbly and smelly, but very interesting.





Unfortunately, we just missed seeing Old Faithful go off. But we stopped anyway, after all, isn't that what visiting Yellowstone if all about. Just wish that we had time in our day to wait for the next show. At the very least it gives us a reason to come back.




Quick (kind of) stop at the gift shop before making our way through the rest of the park. We were able to see some wildlife on our way out, including a moose and a buffalo. The landscape was so amazing, I have lots more pictures than there are posted here, but really how many lake pictures does one person need.





We finally made it to Cody, Wyoming. It ended up being just a quick stop for lunch and back on the road. The kids did great during such a long day in the car.
