July 10th, 2008
As Andrea and I have been mingling with the rest of the campers in all of the different RV parks we have begun to realize that we are the youngest couple in any of these parks by about 20 years. There is an Airstream (type of camper) caravan from South Carolina that is staying in our campground where the average age is probably 70. However, AJ and I are adapting to our surroundings. We have both started carrying fanny packs. I know they are a fashion no-no, but they are so practical. Where else can you fit a handful of sweet-n-low packets taken from the free coffee stand at the RV Park Office? AJ has a deluxe model with multiple zippers and compartments, while mine is a mini model which can only carry a camera, some asprin, tums, and any coupons that may come in handy for our day out exploring.
As for our day, we woke up early and hiked two beautiful trails on Yellowstone Lake. The first was Pelican Creek which was 1.3 miles and ended up with an excellent view of the lake. Storm Point was our second hike which took us 2.3 miles and took us through a meadow full of buffalo to the lake. We also saw several deer and a whole family of groundhogs which let Andrea get extremely close for pictures. After that we took our bikes 3 miles to Natural Bridge to see an arch over a small creek. It is very similar to arch rock on Mackinaw Island.
To finish off the day we were going to rent a boat on Yellowstone Lake, but the wind is so strong that they were keeping all boats in the first bay. Right now we are sitting at Pumice Point where I am going to do some fishing while AJ downloads the pictures. I hooked a nice fish (I presume a laker) yesterday which snapped my line. We are leaving bright and early for the Tetons tomorrow.

The pictures are beautiful. Sure wish I was there. Hope you guys enjoy your anniversary . Look forward to reading about your vacation.
Thanks for the reminder Karen: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ANDREA AND NICK!
We are now on our way through Grand Teton National Park. I didn't think that anything could be as pretty as Yellowstone, but the Tetons are breathtaking! We'll be at our campground in a few minutes. After we set up camp we are going to try to do a bike trip where they take you up a mountain on a ski lift and you bike down.
Tomorrow we have our white water rafting trip to celebrate our 5th anniversary.

trip, sounds like your having fun.
