Jenny Lake, under the Tetons, was rated as one of the top places to camp in the United States by Sunset magazine. Take a look why. Here are Danny and I posing in front of different parts of the lake
It is Gorgeous here!
I seriously couldn't take enough photos...
Paved trails meander around the lake...
so you can capture the beautiful view from every angle
Danny pretended to run from a bear on our way out:
And then as we were leaving the Tetons to go to Yellowstone...
We actually saw a bear!
The first of many wild animals we would see on this trip
And just as we were getting in the groove and getting to the border of Idaho... we got pulled over by a state trooper! We had been behind a SUV going below the speed limit for a very long time and right when a passing lane opened up and Danny sped up to pass them- a state trooper passed us on the opposite side of the road, turned around, and pulled us over. And when he asked us why we were so far away from home... and we told him about our exciting adventure- he proceeded to tell us how bad of an idea our trip was because Wyoming wasn't beautiful. It was boring. The fishing wasn't good, etc... Did someone have an ex in Wyoming or what?!
We finally made it to Wyoming! YAY!!! Here's Danny doing his Wyoming hunter stance...
The mountains were still covered in snow. 
And here we are with our "So happy to be in Wyoming!" faces. We made it!
So we started heading down the mountain...
And entered the town of Jackson... I swear it's the wilderness version of Corona Del Mar- a charming, upscale, small town with gourmet grocery stores and organic coffee shops (which of course I visited!)
And then we just walked around the town. There's a small park in the middle of the town. Elk antlers (which were naturally shed) are stacked into an arch at the entrances. I fell in love with this town walking around the boutique shops, hotels, and restaurants. The following day they had a huge farmers market and BBQ out here... LOVE

And we basically had the whole place to ourselves
Danny was catching fish left and right
And using live worms! He pretended to eat some to gross me out even more than I already was ;)
But it was beautiful. Danny was in his mecca. I was reading Agatha Christie novels like an 80 year old woman, and enjoying every minute of it. It was heaven
But then that night around the campfire, we started talking about places we want to go. One of my life goals is to see every national park... and that's when Yellowstone came up. He'd gone. I hadn't and wanted to. I pulled out the map and while a long drive, I still thought we could fit it into our trip. Decision time: Keep Relaxing where we were for the rest of the week... or go on a crazy adventure that could either turn out disastrous or amazing?
So when my husband popped his head out of the tent that morning and saw that I'd already packed everything up, he gave me that face like, "I must love you woman because you are crazy."
We said goodbye to the trees...
To our favorite campsite in the world... Goodbye River... Goodbye Bear lockers... Goodbye sweet little relaxing spot
And we set off for Wyoming...
We reached northern Nevada first... and oh God... that was the longest, most uneventful drive ever. Just dirt forever...
The drive turned out to be MUCH longer than I had planned. We pulled into Idaho at night and still were a couple hours out from the campsite I saw on the map.
The tail end of this long drive was getting questionable. We were driving through dark, dark fields on a two lane highway. There were no gas stations. No other people driving. Nothing. What did I get us into?!
And this... I thought Idaho was green and pretty. You can't grow potatoes in lava rock!
Did I just take my husband from his happy green, fishing trip to see this?
