About the park.
"Yellowstone National Park covers an area of over three thousand four hundred and seventy two square miles or two million two hundred and nineteen thousand seven hundred and eighty nine acres. The vast consists of lakes, canyons, mountain ranges and the largest super volcano on the North American Continent.
The park is bigger in size compared to the states of Delaware and Rhode Island. The park acts a wildlife preserve as well and consists of a number of endangered species. The park was created by a bill that was signed into law by President Ulysses S Grant."
We drove to Yellowstone Wednesday after Ellie got out of school. To break the trip up, we stopped half-way in Idaho Falls and went to Jakers Restuarant. It was yummy yummy yummy. After stuffing our tummies, and I mean stuffing our tummies, we drove the rest of the way to Yellowstone and our adventure began!
We stayed at the Historic Stage Coach Inn
It was nice and clean, they had a tons of stuffed dead animals in the foyer and a grand staircase, but the feeling in the place was BLEK, I can't really explain it, but BLEK! We won't be staying there again.
Ellie was the first one to spot an animal. A buffalo! She was pretty excited about that.
I took a ton of pictures, so I will break it up a bit.
My pictures are in no particular order, but I think this was from our first day.
These pictures are taken at NORRIS BASIN
Down on the boardwalk.
Norris Basin is awesome! There are gorgeous pools and geysers. We happened to be standing right next to one when it went off and it scared the heck out of all of us! :)
We had a great time walking around, even when it started to rain on us it wasn't so bad.

Wow, almost like being there. You all the pics and wierd, but the one with bright pink Ellie in the foreground and Barry with stroller behind on the wooden walkway is just so good. Very interesting, perfectly framed!
We went on our honeymoon to Yellowstone the first week in May and our hotel was bleak then too. I think it is the time of year. I bet if you went back in July you wouldn't feel that way.
