Last Day in the Tetons

Today was our last day in Jackson and it was a great one. We got up and went to Nora's for breakfast, which is a restaurant that was featured on Diners, Drive-In's, and Dives. They make delicious breakfasts.

We met some really nice South Africans who took our picture.

They make pancakes that are the size of the breakfast plates!! They are huge!! I got banana bread french toast with chocolate chips. It was extremely delectable. Then we went to the grocery store to get food for the trip back home and then met Aunt Susie at Shirt Off My Back, a Jackson Hole souvenir shop. We got some great souvenir shirts. We were originally planning on going fishing this afternoon but it started raining so we hung out at the house for a while. We finally came up with an alternative plan and went to an old Mormon village across from Grand Teton National Park.

After that, we went to The Village in the park where people ski in the winter and rode the gondola to the top of one of the mountains. We had a beautiful view of the surrounding mountain ranges from up on the mountain top.

On the way home, we had the privilege of seeing a bald eagle sitting in a field. It's so much more awesome to see one in the wild than it is in a cage in the zoo because it is there of its own accord. When you see a bald eagle in a zoo, you are seeing the symbol of American freedom in a cage. 

On the way out of the park, we stopped at Roadhouse Brewery for the adults to try some beer and us kids got some ice cream and played around outside. 

We saw some trumpeter swans after we left the brewery.

Then we got pizza from Pinky G's and watched The Help. We are heading out early in the morning and making some stops at national parks along the way. We have had a fantastic time here and hope to come back sometime in the future. It has been an incredible experience.
