Yellowstone National Park

I recommend a trip to Yellowstone National Park but must add that ours was definitely enhanced by kids that behave and travel well in the car. We did a fair bit of driving throughout the park and Cole and Kaori were so good the whole time.

Highlights of our trip were seeing the animals, scenery, geysers in Yellowstone and playing Uno at night. Surprisingly, seeing Old Faithful erupt was a bit anticlimactic. Maybe my expectations were too high or the rest of the park just outshone its most famous member. Evidently Old Faithful is neither the biggest nor prettiest geyser to watch. And ever since an earthquake in the park in the 80's is it not the most reliable. Now it erupts every 90 minutes give or take 10.

Click here to see our pictures from Yellowstone. Fair warning here, there are a lot of pictures. You will see many buffalo, elk, bighorn sheep, rock formations, waterfalls, kids and hot water springs. Unfortunately no moose or bears.

I think for the pictures of moose and bears you have to come to Alaska. Next trip, maybe?
