Weekends - for what they are worth....

Last Thursday, I brought our travel trailer to work with me. After work, I drove up to one of our favorite camping spots to make sure I would a have a spot to park over the holiday weekend. Got the best spot in the camp! Stayed the night there and commuted into work the next morning. (I was actually closer to work at Palisades than I am from my home.) And this would be a theme for the rest of the weekend. Best of both worlds, I say.

Saturday, Marcy brought the family up to get the trailer truly set up and get ready for the holiday weekend. I joined them after work, and we had a great campfire.

On Sunday, we woke up with our only intention being to drive into Jackson Hole, WY for the day. We got to Jackson just in time to see the street sweepers cleaning up all of the horse apples after the Independance Day parade. We walked the boardwalks around town for a bit, ate a very expensive McDonalds meal and decided to go see the Tetons. So, we drove north of Jackson and just kind of ended up at the south gate to Yellowstone Park.

Well, if you are that close, you really only have one option, right? So we entered the park and drove to Old Faithful. We caught the 5:23 showing of the geyser, toured the newly remodeled lodge and left for camp at about 5:45. At about 8:45, we arrived back to camp, and I set about BBQing the pork ribs that had been marinating. After a great meal, we all went to bed.

Monday am, I went in to work. After an un-eventful day at work, I went back up to Palasades. After dinner, I took Zach over to see Ben at Camp Little Lemhi with the troop. We stayed until well after dark and came back to our "camp".

Tuesday was my day off, and Zach and I went back over to Little Lemhi for the day. He earned his Indian Lore Merit badge, and got a partial on his leatherworking. We went back to our camp, ate dinner, and Marcy and the kids left for home. I stayed for one more night, and Wednesday, I hooked on to the trailer again and brought it to work with me. (Nice to work for an RV dealership.)

I guess that if you can't take a lot of time off in a row, make the most of it! I truly lived what I am selling. I look forward to more of the same at other times this summer. I am also glad summer finally arrived here.
