A day away part 2

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO!!!! So Monday morning we left Pinedale and drove the beautiful drive to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We met Jo's parents just outside of Jackson Hole and after getting everything organized we drove into Jackson to spend the day and enjoy. We went to lunch where everyone tried to humiliate Jo by having the waitress sing. Luckily for her they don't do that there, they bring you a FREE piece of pie and say Happy Birthday! So their plan backfired! HAHAHAHA! Next we drove around a bit and then we took Mom & Dad Bills to the Bar J Chuckwagon to wait in line. They had made reservations but to pick your seat you have to get in line. Mom Bills wanted to be very upfront so they waited in line for the spot. While they waited Jo and Darin went over to Teton Village to see some of Jackson Hole on their short trip. While there Jo noticed the Tram and since it was her Birthday and her dear husband couldn't possibly say no to his wife on her birthday he agreed to go. It was soooo AWESOME!!!!! When the tram docks after the 11 minute journey, at the top you are at an elevation of 10,450 They have a small gift shop with souveniers and coffee and such. The views are simply amazing and although we took a million pictures you simply cannot fully capture the beauty of this place. There are walkways to walk around. But even though we left Jackson and it's about 90 degree beautiful day we were now at a much higher elevation so it was much much cooler. The wind was unbelievable! Darin being so nervous about Heights was such a good sport. He just wouldn't come to close to the edges. Jo made him a weebit nervous practically hanging over the railings to take some of these shots. For those of you not familiar with this area at all. Looking out over the gorgeous view of Jackson Hole you can turn and view the Grand Tetons! If that gives you any clue as to where we were. We have so many more pics so if you would like to see more of the views just ask!


Another one of Jo's self portraits. No view here just the Happy couple!

Darin zoomed in as close as he could for this pic, but he is quite far away.

In the winter this is a popular Ski slope. And in mid July well it's still got snow!

One of beautiful views from the top. It's called Rendevous Point. To hike up is a 7.2 miles. If you hike up you can ride the tram down for free!



Darin as close as he would get to the edge.





Another breathtaking sight from Rendevous Point!
