Road Trip Day 2

This morning we got up and headed out to do some browsing in...

One of the reasons we wanted to stop here was because Brian went to school here for 15 months right before we got married.  We wanted to show the boys where he went to school...

And where he lived...

The house looked just like I remembered from 11 years ago. :). We left Laramie and headed towards our hotel in Jackson.  We stopped on the way at the Wyoming Frontier Penituary.  It is a jail that was built in 1901 and was used until 1981.  We took a tour and it was actually very interesting and fairly creepy.  We even got to see the gas chamber they installed in the '30's and that multiple men died in.  The tour guide even asked if we wanted to sit in the chair!  Um, no thanks!!  Anyway, here's a shot of the front of the building.  

My little inmates...

The cutest prisoners I've ever seen...


After leaving the prison, we set out on the rest of our journey.  We hit some construction traffic and were at a dead stop for a bit...

In the middle of nowhere...

But after getting a couple of hours past that, the scenery started to change.

We pulled over at a scenic pull out and Brian told the boys to run and get some energy out.  Beautiful view, isn't it?  We also met a sweet couple from Spring, TX here.  Small world!

Another pretty shot with some purple wildflowers...


We stopped at the Wind River to take a couple of pics and the boys wanted to feel the water to see how cold it was...


A few shots of the Tetons...


These goofy kids were FULL of energy after being in the car for so long (about 7 hours today meaning that in the last 36 hours, we have been in the car for 24 of those hours. Wow). They were showing me some sweet poses.

We stopped in Jackson Hole to eat so we got to our hotel after dark and couldn't see the view from our room.  We're on the edge of the bluff though, so I imagine it's gorgeous!!!  Our room is super cute and has the 'Wyoming' feel to it...



Looking forward to a good nights' sleep and a new day tomorrow!
