This past labor day weekend was pretty awesome I have to say. My lil sis had a gig up in Jackson, WY…so I decided to tag along. Savannah and I watched “the boy” while she worked. And now, I am totally in love. In love with Wyoming. (yes really)
It was too short of a trip I admit. I could spend a week just laying by the snake river, or eating under the stars. As most road trips that Lea and I go on.. it would not be complete unless we got a little lost, and hit a dead end or two. I ”saw” the sign that said the road was closed ahead, but I didn’t read it. I got as far as the word MANHEAD and didn’t read the rest of the sign. So after doubling back we finally were on our way.
We did take time to enjoy some quaint shops in the small towns we would pass through. We even got some new cowboy boots from the Boot Barn, a new camo hat, and an amazing sausage skewer from a truck stop. They were having a sale. Savannah liked the Jerky stand selling all types of beef and game. Savannah enjoyed the Elk.
The food on this trip was hearty. Savannah and I enjoyed some buffulo and homestyle bread with all the fixens for dinner. And there is nothing like small town breakfast – biscuits as big as my head!
But what I really love, is just how amazing this part of the country is. I would live there in a heartbeat. Really… as I get older, the thought of living out on a ranch away from the world just strikes my fancy. Of course, if I have a ranch, my gate will be pink and I plan on having some flood lights installed seeing I am afraid of the dark. Until then, Jackson is most definitely on my rotation for places to visit.
