Sleigh Ride!

We went on a sleigh ride in Jackson, WY. They provided us with some great pendelton blankets, which I love!


Wonderful views



And horsies too!



While in Jackson

During our time in Jackson, WY, it was pretty snowy, so we got a room at the Virginian Lodge and stayed for a week. We spent some time in the room just lounging and being cozy, but when we went out, we had a good time.
Here we are having happy hour at a local brewery called snake river!


Around the restaurant there were all of these painted tiles. They were painted by people who would come and join for a "paint a tile" night. All the tiles are then put up to decorate the restaurant. It was pretty unique.


In the middle of town there is a ski hill called Snow King. They offered night skiing and it lit up so pretty. We didn't get a chance to ski it, but we walked around to check it out. Kind of a cool thing to have in town.


Here is a picture of Snow King from across the Elk Refuge


In Downtown Jackson, there a four of these antler archways entering a park. They are all lit up and create such a pretty glow.


Do you see all of the Elk?



Bighorn Sheep! They were just walking across the road.


This is a view outside our room. It's to show the amount of snow. By the time we left, there was about twice that much.


Jonathan is throwing snowballs at me on our walk. One hit me right in the face!


A beautiful view from the mountain.

Welcome to Jackson!


We made it to Jackson! It is a nice tiny little town. Lot's of cold and snow too! We got a hotel to stay, it is easier when we go to the mountain to just bring things to a warm place and let them dry at the end of the day. We started at the motel 8, then moved to the Virginian. They have a weekly rate which makes it cheaper then just a few days, so we went for it. We will be in Jackson until Thursday the 13th. 
We made it up to Jackson Hole mountain on Tuesday, it was about 1 degree out and lightly snowing. 
I love that we get real passes to keep!

It is a nice little village at the mountain. 




Happy Boarding!

Spending the night on the way to Jackson


We stopped in Idaho Falls at Wal-Mart to get some sleep on our way to Jackson. It was around 6 degrees and we were very cozy. The van is a great place to be comfortable, we tend to be so comfortable that we sleep longer then we realize. :) Our window coverings work very well at keeping warm in and light out. 


Some snowy scenery shots the next day heading to Jackson.

Random Bend


While in Bend, Jonathan had the chance to go Snowboarding at Mt. Bachelor. Thanks Adam!
What a gorgeous day!



We also went to see one of our favorite bands, The Devil Makes Three.
And we got to see some friends too! 


Me and my friend Anna, and a group shot with our friend Brad and some other guy. :)




                                   

Throwback Thursday!

When I was much younger, my brother Paul drew this caricature of me. I recently found it in a box of things stored at my Dad's house. Too Funny!
