Jackson Hole

I wanted to share a few pictures of our awesome trip to Jackson Hole. (My camera was on the verge of dying the entire time, and sadly my camera battery was about the only thing I left behind. So, here's a couple of the very few pics I took. No worries though, Jill and Mere took tons!) We were gone for 6 days, and had a ball spending time with our friends! The first plane took us from Atlanta to Salt Lake City, then another from SLC to JH. We had an incredible house that slept 14 people, and we were able to cook dinners, sit by the fire, and enjoy our time together. We skied for 3 days and on our last day, David and I took a snowmobile ride through Yellowstone with Meredith and Johnathan. It was gorgeous! And we had the most hilarious guide, Bob. He was a trip! A real ski bum/outdoorsman from out west. On the trip, we also met a young couple who had quit their jobs in New Zealand and had been traveling since last June all over the States, Canada, South America, and Western Europe. Needless to say, we were envious of their lassez faire lifestyle.
David's skiing has improved tremendously (thanks to his Ski Instructor Kimmee), and he and I took it easy mostly on the soft snow and the runs at the bottom of the mountain. One afternoon, we took the lift up high and had an interesting time skiing back down the mountain. On our last day of skiing I was brave enough to do it again...and came down unscathed! Afterward, David and I took the gondola to the top to see the views...it was snowing so hard and was so cold and windy that we didn't stay long!
At the bottom of the mountain was a great place for us all to meet back up and have a beer in the afternoons - The Peak at the Four Seasons. They served great lunches and beers, but our favorite drink was the Bailey's Hot Chocolate!
We had an amazing time skiing the mountain, laughing with our friends (especially playing the Game of Things and watching the Bachelor finale), and eating good food. Looking forward to our next time with everyone!

On our way!
