We left around 8:00am (yea!!!! another early morning start!!!) and headed to Grand Teton National Park for pictures. The sunrise was nice (if a bit overcast) and we were able to get some pictures, but the fog set in soon. We entered Yellowstone and drove about 20 miles into the park, turned around and headed back to Jackson for Harlans chiro appointment at 11:30. Brenda video taped the Tetons through the car window as we were driving back to Jackson. After the chiro pinched, poked and prodded Harlan we drove to a knife store that the chiro recommended to get Harlans pocket knife sharpened. We had a wonderful lunch at Cadillacs in downtown Jackson. Brenda had a bowl of pumpkin bacon chowder and Harlan had turkey w/dressing and mashed potatoes. We just had to have the lemon crème brulee for dessert. Brenda told Harlan she was saving herself for ice cream store down the street, but ended up helping herself to most of the crème brulee leaving Harlan with the task of licking the cup. And of course we just HAD to experience the homemade organic ice cream parlor on the way to pick up Harlans sharpened knife.
We then drove to the Elk Reserve just outside of Jackson and decided to do the sleigh ride through the Elk Reserve tomorrow morning instead of today (it was SO COLD today). We then picked up more water and some Moose Drool (a wonderful local beer) at the liquor store for Harlans friend Tom in Austin. By this time the clouds were really coming in and it was getting colder. It looks like snow soon.
We then drove up to Teton Village just outside of Jackson to see the resort we have been reading about since we arrived. We drove up the streets beyond the resort and found some incredibly beautiful homes. One of the things that makes this area so beautiful is that most of the buildings and homes are made out of wood and stone in the log cabin style.
We got back to the motel around sunset and did laundry, packed and planned for tomorrow.
