  Day 14: Yellowstone NP After a LONG drive yesterday, we were able to sleep in a little before heading to Yellowstone. We entered in the West, North entrances are still closed. What a beautiful drive in! Our first stop was random, and there were a few herds of bison, just hanging out. Lots of babies. Then we headed to the hot springs/geysers. The terrain looks like a different planet. And Grandpa got to see Old Faithful! So did the kids - the last time we were here we had definitely missed it and I told them it was a different one going off haha (mother of the year). After setting up camp, we went to Hayden Valley, because it is the trip of Hayden, apparently. We headed back for a smorgasbord of a dinner and a warm fire.  Today's Lessons: 1.

Miles has a video - but they aren't posting well on here. Walked around the cannery with the kids, then they wanted to head back for lunch. After we ate, I headed back out to wander. Took the nature trail, the beach trail, and ended up seeing the STARFISH I always wanted to see! Today’s Lessons: 1. Go wander. Even if it’s solo. 2. Ziplines are a breeze when you can’t see the bottom through the fog. And then you break through the fog and BAM you can see everything. Super cool. 3: Starfish are equally amazing and creepy. Day 11: Ketchikan, AK EARLY morning out wi...
