We're going to Jackson, So comb your hair..

Every August, we get a chance to celebrate a great and glorious day...our anniversary. This year Camille planned out a wonderful weekend in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Jackson is only about 2 hours from where we live and we took off right after work. Adam was so excited that he mounted his trusted steed, "Hopper", to make sure he could get there faster. Note: Hopper was a jackalope off the side of the road at a gas station. While Adam was climbing onto Hopper he almost fell off twice. The wind was blowing very hard, and he claims it was that. But we all know, Adam is a clutz.The mountains were stunning!! It was a cold and windy weekend, but the clouds made the mountains look great. As we drove in and saw the Tetons in the pic below, Adam began to sing church video songs...he was so inspired.
A special treat in Jackson is the Gun Barrel Restaurant. They serve wild game, and Adam being the adventurer he is ordered the mixed dish. It came with Buffalo, Elk, Deer, and garlic patatos. He loved every bit of it. If you look closely you can see the blood lust in his eyes.
Adam also tried to make some friends in the area by mimicking wild life. However, many passerbys thought he looked like he needed a bathroom.
While Adam was out making new friends, Camille had moved on to a new man. He is much taller and hairier than Adam. But he was all the man she could ask for. When Adam saw them together, he decided it was time to mess with sasquatch.
As mentioned earlier, the weather was cold and windy, mixed with rain and even a little snow. The weather broke long enough for us to take a little hike up the side of Grand Teton. It was very pretty.
We hiked up to a look out. In this pic we are both a little worn out from walking up the side of a mountain in the rain and wind. Note: Camille has on two shirts, a sweatshirt, and a rain parka draped over her with a backpack...she is not trying to be a hunchback.
When were about to walk back to our car, it started to rain again...then snow...then wind, snow, and rain. It was so miserable. Adam tried to stand up against the elements, but in the end, we decided to pay an outragious amount of money for a boat to take us across Jenny Lake.
The boat across Jenny Lake was so freaking COLD!! Adam's cheeks were so red, and he kept yelling "I can't feel my cheeks!!" He even had some tears rolling down his face, but claimed those were from the wind and cold...he was not crying!! He is a man, men don't cry. Camille then called him a whiney baby.

you guys (wyoming that is) really gave us a scare the first half of the game on Sat! I was asking David, "has Adam texted you yet on this game?" but we ended up showing up for the second half luckily. Good effort by Wyoming though! :)
great pics of your vacation to Jackson Hole - hilarious that you climbed on that statue!!!

Looks like fun!! Maybe you could bring the jack rabbit to your yard!! That would be fun entertainment for the new neighborhood!! Did people want to kick you off of it? Or is it allowed to climb on? Jackson is fun and glad you could get away to celebrate!! Can't wait to hang out.. See you both soon!!
