Go West Vacation - Grand Tetons, Yellowstone (day one)

7/20/2009
What a fun day today! We drove through the Grand Tetons
and some of Yellowstone.
While we were leaving Grand Teton National Park, I got to see a bear. It was brown and kind of smallish. I couldn't tell if it was a grizzly or a black bear. When we (FINALLY) arrived at Old Faithful, Gator said, "I smell eggs!" It took me a minute to figure out that he was smelling the sulfur. Old Faithful finally erupted.
It got us a little bit wet. Then, we proceeded around the boardwalk and saw lots of cool thermal pools and little geysers. Bull fell asleep on the way back to the van. We saw lots of elk (one group of 6 from about 50 yards!)
and one bison. So much beauty! We're going back to the park tomorrow. Hopefully, we'll see some more animals!
