Yes... I am Spoiled....

Joe and I had an unbelievable weekend!!!

We went on a 4 day motorcycle trip with friends of ours up to Jackson Hole! It was incredible and I can't wait to go on another bike trip!



We left home at 4:30. We wanted to leave at 2 to beat traffic since we had a couple stops in SLC to make before really getting out of town. Instead we hit the heart of rush hour and added yet another hour to our trip. After a few pits stops to gas up and once thinking we ran out of gas (really Joe just forgot what tank we were running on...) we made it to St Anthony at 11pm. We were freezing cold! The temperature dropped just before we hit Idaho Falls and going 75 down the highway made it 1000x worse! Not to mention our butts were SOOOOOOO tired and sore. So we were so glad the hotel had a 24 hr hot tub. We got settled and went for a dip only to find the hot tub was ICE cold! That was frustrating. We enjoyed our rest and set out the next day for Jackson Hole.




We went with Derek and Tracy who live in Rexburg. They had a kids football game to be at that morning so we went and visited Justin and the boys. Holly was in Oregon at our sister Becky's baby shower. They were sad that we didn't have their kitties or our kids with us but they had a blast trying on our helmets and shooting each other with a Nerf gun with them on. Carter and Brenden each went for a ride. They LOVED it!








We left them and headed to Derek and Tracy's house. They finished getting their bike loaded and we were off! We had thought about going through Yellowstone before heading down to Jackson but decided it was going to make the ride less relaxed. So we cut down through Swan Valley. The ride was amazing! Absolutely breathtaking. We arrived in Jackson and got a quick bite to eat and did some shopping before we headed to see The Bar J Wranglers. That was Joe's whole reason for going. They were fabulous and well worth the drive and sore butt. You will have to watch for them to come to your area or go out to Jackson Hole.

After the show we retired to a bed and breakfast just outside Jackson in Victor called Fox Creek Inn. It was a beautiful home. Our hostess Julie was very accommodating to our late arrival. We were disappointed yet again... the hot tub there was also not functioning properly. We were tired enough that it wasn't a big deal. Breakfast the next morning was perfect! The grounds were so pretty and Julie is an animal lover. She has a 27 yr old parrot and a sweet dog who is very good at begging.

We went sight seeing that morning. What a beautiful country we live in! We hit an antiques show in Teton Village. We headed back to Jackson and did some more shopping. It was getting close to head home time so we went to the base of the Tetons and had lunch. We had a great time sitting and eating and talking. So much in fact that we left an hour and a half late. We said our goodbyes. Derek and Tracy went back home. Joe and I took the back highways to Eden to our condo up there. We got there at 9:30 and BEGGED them to keep the hot tub open just a bit longer. They let us stay til 10:30. It was just perfect! We met some really nice people and had a great night.

Now we're home and letting our bums recover. Our next adventure begins on Friday when we go camping in Manti !
