Jackson Hole, WY {Day 1}

We shook things up a bit this year for Memorial Day. Instead of our usual voyage to Bear Lake - where we've typically been met with freezing cold, rain, and even snow - we decided to go to Jackson Hole, WY with our good friend, Nicole and her two girls. Jeff and I haven't been to Jackson Hole since our honeymoon 12 years ago. We invited Jeff's parents to come with us.... to keep Nicole's parents company. Nicole and her parents go to Jackson Hole every year for Memorial Day weekend and after our little getaway, we might just make it our new tradition too.

Quick stop to stretch our legs at Bear Lake. Oh how I love that view!

Even though Nicole and her parents go to Jackson Hole every year {and Nicole worked there for many years}, I was surprised to hear they don't go to the Bar J Wranglers! What? How does one go to Jackson Hole and not stop by for a good Chuckwagon dinner?

Cole was pretty tired and grouchy, but Pearl loved the cowboy songs! She even asked for a picture with the Bar J Wranglers after the show. It was a lot of fun and just like I remembered it from 12 years ago... even down to the "slop" line and banged up cups of lemonade.

We got a great deal ($70 per night) on the Rawhide Motel right smack Downtown. It did come with a few less than luxurious accommodations like the horrid pillows! But.... it was within walking distance from all of the fun and the kids absolutely loved it.
