Exploring Yellowstone

For the first time since San Fransisco we've stayed at a hotel for more than one night, which meant we were able to spend today exploring the local area. Our hotel is right next to Yellowstone National Park, so guess where we spent our time :)



Yellowstone has more than half the worlds geothermal features in it, so we saw lots of smoking, bubbling pools of water and mud.



Lots of wildlife too, although Alex didn't get to see a Moose which is what she really wanted...



...apart from a plastic one :)



By the evening we were tired and hungry, but all the eaterys in town were full up.



So instead we visited the Colonel instead in what looked like his first ever restaurant. Over here you get biscuits with your chicken! Although they work quite nicely... Alex also had Mac & Cheese with hers and I had mashed potato and gravy.

Hi Both

Working late so thought I'd let you know we're all keeping up with your news and photos and are jealous as anything. Of course you did miss one big treat today - Geri's cakes for her birthday last week but we didn't think you'd want to come back especially!

Smashing photos - looks as though you're having a great time - keep it up.

Hello from the USA!

A belated happy birthday to Geri from us both :)

I think we'll need to buy another memory card for the camera because of the number of pictures we're taking.

Hope everyone in the office is doing well - I'm sure you're getting ready for your holiday coming up!
