Friday afternoon our trip started by riding in a town car to the airport. It was very luxurious with a leather pillow AND a candy bowl full of tootsie rolls! (not to mention a lot cheaper then leaving our car at the airport!) After our 3 and a half hour direct flight, Kyle and I arrived in Jackson Hole, WY around 8:00 pm. We headed straight out and got our rental car, who we lovingly referred to as "Bessie". She was a Silver Hyundai Santa Fe and she served us well on our journey.
We arrived at the Alpine Climbers Ranch around 9, were given a tour in the dark and assigned our cabin. Inside there were 4 bunk beds made of plywood, that you put your sleeping pad and bag on top of. The picture shows Kyle sleeping on the one above me, but he ended up moving down with me b/c the beds were very wide and fit us both perfectly. We slept fairly well (windows and doors open-- love the cold air in the morning) except for our roommate waking up at 4 am hyperventilating/gagging... we aren't quite sure if it was a dream or what. She went right back to bed, but it took us a little longer. Around 5:30 am I was awakened by the howling coyotes outside and was ready to get up for the day! Kyle laughed as he opened his eyes and I was staring in his face saying "Hiiii, what are you doing"... of course he replied with "SLEEPING". We finally got up around 6:00 ready to go!

What a great beginning to your trip! The name "Bessie" and your story about waking Kyle up made me giggle. Glad that the vacation posts are beginning!!!!
Finally! Glad to see you were both able to fit one the bottom bunk. Am anxiously awaiting the next episode.

Grandma

Can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip!
I swear, sometimes I think we should switch places!! Yall are so "out there", you would love it HERE!!! You can sleep on the ground outside and eat small portions for every meal..those beds look sooo comfy!! OMG! I'm jealous (sarcasm) glad you kids had fun!! Hilarious about the roommate, even more hilarious the thought of you and kyle waking up looking at each other like "What In the world is her problem?!?!? "....but nobody going to check on her....LMAO!
