We took a trip last week to Grand Teton and Yellowstone parks, driving a total of some 2200 miles in order to see what the fuss was all about. We had a friend dog sit, setting out food and water for 'The Crew.' Also, we played the license plate game with an app that Melody found. You know - find all 50 states before the end of the trip and check them off. We ended up with all of them but Rhode Island & Kentucky.
Monday, we drove all day and ended up in Pueblo, CO. I can't shake the feeling that I saw many commercials for Consumer Protection pamphlets as a kid and you had to send away to Pueblo, CO for all of them. Whatever.
The plan was to spend that night in a campground but when we arrived at the campground the gate was open but it was unmanned. The instructions said to fill out the form and stick it with payment into the box. We did not have the exact bills necessary nor our checkbook, which we had left behind. So, naturally, we spent the night at the Marriott.
The next morning we visited the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs which, by that point, was only a half hour away. Just as we walked in, there was a hands on area where were could try our hand at a few sports.
It works well as a back scratcher.
Some other things that we saw:
Shows how high the 10 meter diving board is.
It was an interesting tour.
After lunch, we went to the Air Force Academy Visitor's Center. There wasn't a whole lot to take pictures of there but we did manage to snap this one of me with a B-52 on the way out. I'm the one in the front:
Then it was back on the road for another day of driving to reach Yellowstone.
Oh, and about this time our dog sitter sent us this picture of Rusty:

Poor boy. He doesn't look all that happy.
