Wyoming Vacation in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks

September 22, 2017 by pfeifer

Last year (2016) we took a family vacation to Wyoming to visit Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. I meant to post information about the trip online a long time ago, but I’ve been very busy with other matters that kept me away from this website. While I plan to continue writing on my usual topics of interest, I am adding travel reviews, journals, and vacation guides to the material on this website.

Anyway, I’ve written a number of articles about our Yellowstone/Grand Teton vacation in Wyoming, and I’ve linked them all in the following list. The articles are longer and more rambling than I would prefer, but I was trying to cover a lot of material in a short time. I’ll be more concise and structure them differently in the future.

I hope you find the information helpful in your vacation planning.

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Vacation Review, Day 4 – Old Faithful Snow Lodge and Family Inn Restaurant

We managed to get out of our room at Jackson Lake Lodge by the 11:00 a.m. checkout time. This got us downstairs and outside in time for the raptor show being put on by the Teton Raptor Center. Although we missed most of the programs like this, the Jackson Lake Lodge appears to host many […]

Idiots in Nebraska want Teachers in Shootouts with Students

Demonstrating a level of intellect only seen in state legislators and suicidal lemmings, Nebraska state senator Mark Christensen has introduced a bill into the Nebraska state legislature to authorize teachers to carry concealed handguns in schools. Apparently Senator Christensen feels that arming teachers to gun down students will help keep the students safer. I would […]

Clickbait Headlines to Refuse to Click – Stop Reading Garbage Articles on the Internet

Clickbait headlines are getting worse and worse by the day, yet people seem so conditioned into clicking onto garbage articles on the internet that they read the stories anyway. There is a wide array of stories that I simply refuse to read because the headlines follow the same pattern and use the same traps to […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 7 – Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, Mammoth Springs Dining Room, Albright Visitor’s Center, and Stops on the Way to Signal Mountain Lodge

Although the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel was quiet during the night, the hallways were rather noisy in the morning. This was not due to unruly guests, but due to the hotel’s design. The hallways are long and solidly built, but with high ceilings and widely spaced walls. The tunnel effect seemed to amplify sounds, making […]

If you are the publisher of a writing publication we have not listed or if you know of something we […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 8 – Signal Mountain Lodge, Colter Bay Village, Ranchhouse Restaurant, Jackson Lake, Donoho Point, Elk Island

After a night of deep sleep at Signal Mountain Lodge, I awoke early and enjoyed the quiet of the morning. While it is fairly easy to hear through the walls, everyone was either sleeping or trying to be polite. I went to get coffee from the barista at their general store, which was about the […]

Breakfast buffet at Alpenhof Lodge in Teton Village

Breakfast buffet at Alpenhof Lodge in Teton Village On the first morning of our Wyoming vacation we ate at the breakfast buffet at Alpenhof Lodge. This was a complimentary breakfast as a result of Hotwire selling us a room reservation at Alpenhof Lodge when they did not actually have any vacancies. You can read more […]

Open-carry, Brady campaign, Starbucks, and the gun rights debates at Dunkin Donuts

Image via Wikipedia The debate among the open-carry gun rights advocates, Brady campaign supporters, and lovers of Starbucks coffee spilled over onto my Facebook page this morning after an innocent status update about Dunkin’ Donuts. It became so entertaining I decided it could be converted into a blog post. How’s that for harvesting the internet […]

Vagazzled – Bejazzling for vaginas is apparently a thing now (video)

Ladies, ever felt like your vagina needed a little something extra to make it stand out in a crowd? Ever asked yourself why a guy was staring at another girl’s vagina instead of yours? What does a girl have to do to get a guy to pay attention to her when she exposes her pubic […]
