Yellowstone!!

Last week Blair and I were able to go to Yellowstone, this was the first time I've been there and I loved it! We drove up on Wednesday and were able to go right into the park. Almost as soon as we drove in I spotted my first Buffalo, woo-hoo! We went and saw Old Faithful which was really neat! After that we went for a swim in the Firehole River, this was one of my most favorite things about Yellowstone, its the perfect swimming hole!! The next day was my 21st birthday!! It was such a fun day, Blair surprised me with tickets to see 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' at the playhouse in town. He hid the tickets in my favorite box of cereal - isn't he cute?? So, I would say our first stop were the falls but our first 3 stops were for construction...boo... We finally made it to the falls and they were incredible. I've never seen such amazing scenery in my life! After that we went to the Mud Volcano and Dragons Mouth and on the way saw two huge herds of Buffalo, they were awesome! Our next stop were the Grand Prismatic Spring and Excelsior Spring, they were incredible and so different. We went for another swim after that and then headed back to town to get ready for the play :) It was so much fun!! Blair is such an amazing guy, I love him!! We left Friday and I was so sad to go. We sure took the scenic way home though. We drove through the park on the way to the Tetons which were unbelievable. They are so beautiful! We drove on through to Jackson Hole and stopped for lunch and then headed home. What a wonderful vacation!!
