vacation day 6

believe it or not, we still have 3 more days to go!

today we woke up super early and went fly fishing on the snake river. we met our guide in the hotel lobby and walked over to the rec store to get our single day wyoming fishing license. after that our guide drove us through jackson to an entry point on the snake river. he launched the boat and we were off. it was still pretty cold (in the 30's) but it actually felt pretty good as long as were in the sun. cpt johnny miller gave us about an hour of instruction and were off! chris caught an 18" cutthroat in no time at all! there was a lot of drag time and then he caught a 19" cutthroat. i caught some really little ones and we caught 2 at the same time! that was pretty exciting! we called it a day about noon and the guide drove us back to the hotel. chris and i cleaned up a little, packed our backpacks and headed out for teton n.p. we went to the jenny lake center for some provisions and took off for a hike in the woods. it wasn't so bad until we hit the mountain slope. we hiked and hiked and hiked and finally made it to inpiration point. it was very exhilarating but also very tiring. our original plan was to hike around the entire lake. we made it about half way and opted to take the ferry boat back. the hike was right around 5 miles and took about 3 hours. we drove back to the hotel, took showers and went out for dinner. we went to pica's- a mexican food place that the fishing guide recommended. it was okay. i think more than anything we are just really tired.

since we got back from dinner i have been doing laundry and working on this blog. tomorrow we will check out of the hotel and hit the road for idaho. we will be driving through rexburg to see where chris was born. that will take us through idaho falls and chris also promised that we would go to the sand dunes that were featured in napolean dynamite. we will meet up with will and katie in lava hot springs for some fun in the sun and water.

vaction day 5

today we rode horses, took the gondola up the mountain, went into town for the alpine slide at snow king resort, shopped around in jackson and bought hoodies, watched the gunfight in the town square and topped it off with a trip to the rodeo. the only thing of note is that the girl chris had a major crush on in middle school was riding in the rodeo. the love was unrequited so he didn't want to say anything to her.
