Yellowstone Day 2 !!!!

Hello peeps!!!!!

OMG we saw 2 grizzly bears yesterday but more of that later!!

So yesterday (Wednesday) we had a second full day exploring Yellowstone. We got brekky included in this hotel so we got some and left at 8am.. First we stopped at some geothermal pools which stank!! Then we stopped to watch an eruption (see pics and vids below).. It was pretty cool even though we had to wait an hour or so for it..

After that we headed to a small town called Jackson-Hole for lunch.,. It seemed like a proper cowboy town and we went to a bar called “Million Dollar Cow Boy” to have a burger for lunch… Lucy had a cheeseburger and Lee had an Elk (kinda like a deer) burger..

After lunch we headed back towards Yellowstone and did a couple of stop offs on the way.. Whilst we had had seen some wildlife at Yellowstone we didn’t see any bears.. So on the way back to the hotel they dropped us off at the “Grizzly Bear and Wolf Discovery Centre”.. We saw some wolves and more importantly we saw some bears.. 2 grizzlies called Sam and Lillie.. They were cool, lots of good pics and vids below..

After that we grabbed some tea and crashed.. We are travelling to Salt Lake City, Utah today.. which has a big morman population… I don’t know a great deal about the mormans but we are going out for a group meal tonight and we have been told we can’t get any coffee or alcohol in the town which is a drag cos they are 2 of our favourite things, lol.. and that morman men can have lots of wives!!!

We have just go to the hotel, it’s called the Red Lion, it’s bloody nice… just gonna chill for a couple of hours before we head out…

We are only here for one night, then we are off to Cedar and for Lee’s 21st we will be staying overlooking the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.. Then we are off to a small place called Las Vegas on Sunday.. Lucy is just a little bit excited!!!

Lots of Love
Lee and Lucy xxxx
