We slept in Thursday morning and meandered over to
The Bunnery for breakfast. They have a great bakery and restaurant. One of their specialties is their OSM products (Oatmeal, Sunflower, Millet). I had their OSM oatmeal, and Ray had some of their granola with greek yogurt. All very good. Then we walked around town and in and out of several stores. The only purchase we made was a stuff sack for Ray's down jacket. It was so warm we didn't even need a coat.
There was a quilt show going on. The quilts were all displayed in various store windows. There were some stunning quilts and I enjoyed seeing as many as I did.
About noon we left to go on a drive through Grand Teton National Park. I'd like to come back another time when we have longer to stay. One beauty of being there off season is that we saw very few cars or people the whole time. We drove to Wilson, then through Moose. There was a moose out in the water, it looked just like a postcard. We went into the park and rode up to Jenny Lake where we stopped and walked around a bit. There is a pretty waterfall not too far from there I was told (Ray's been there). But I was also told to take bear spray if we walked to the waterfall. I opted out of that one.
From Jenny Lake we rode up to Jackson Lake, taking the Signal Mountain Road scenic drive along the way. I loved it. Then we took our time coming back to Jackson. We didn't make it up to Yellowstone this time. We'll do that on another trip.
We had dinner at
Mountain High Pizza Pie. The pizza was fine, and filling. We gave half our pizza to some other people eating there. They were happy to take it, and we would have had to throw it away otherwise.

this looks like so much fun. i'm glad you guys got to get away for a little while.
ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures - I think the Tetons are so pretty, and I love both Jenny Lake and Jackson Lake. Some day I need to go back to Jackson and get a picture of our family by the antler arches - we've seen it so many times, and never stopped and taken our picture there. Also I need to go back now just to try all the restaurants you guys went to. (I love trip reports that include the food details!)
