I'm back?

Woah!  January 6th?  That's just pitiful!  Those were my thoughts as I clicked on my blog page.  Now just because I haven't posted since then doesn't mean I haven't been *thinking* about posting...that counts right?  I guess I don't even have an adequate excuse for waiting 6 months forever since my last post so I'm just jumpin in and going for it.  I guess I'll start with:  another road trip!  The beauty of working in a school district is that you get so many breaks...seriously, SO MANY!  The third best break (third only to Christmas and summer) is Spring Break!  So what did I do with a whole week off this year?  What else besides a road trip to none other than Jackson Hole!  You might remember a previous post about a road trip back from Portland with a stop in Jackson (if I could figure out how, I would link to that older post but let's be honest, it's a miracle in an of itself that I'm writing this now, so figuring out that whole linking thing is just gonna have to wait! :)  Anyway, this trip was nothing like the previous one.  This time around we stayed with a good friend from home and it was so nice to have such a great place to stay, and to have someone show us around town!  Thanks Zach!!  So now I'll let the pictures do the talking...
Wyoming State Line...you know that sound about the wind whippin across the plains in Oklahoma?  The original version is actually about Wyoming!  (Or at least it should be) 
If you go back and read that older post I was talking bout, you'll find out about this awesome hotel...I just had to go back and make sure it was still there!  Also, proud to say, I'm no longer a stranger!
Kim bout to take her first run at Jackson Hole
If you've never skied there just know...this mountain is STEEP!  Also, you will feel like you're going to ski off the face of the mountain because you can't see the bottom from the top but don't worry, this is just an optical illusion!
No offense Wyoming but y'alls snow ain't got nothin on Colorado!  The day we went was nothing but slush, rocks and patches of grass everywhere
Our host for the week and tram operator extraordinaire representing all the way from Clemson, SC!
These are waffles at the top of the tram.  It's a place called Corbet's Cabin and if you go to Jackson Hole, this is a must...these are SOOO good!! 
I recommend the brown sugar and butter combination.  Super healthy too!  Ok only kidding but after a day of shredding gnar pow, who cares?!  I'm always so dang hungry apres skiing! 
These are found in the square in the town of Jackson (I'm pretty sure this is 1 of 4).  Now that's a lot of antlers! 

The Grand Teton mountains...pictures just don't do it justice...this place is beautiful!
This is Moulton Barn known as the most photographed barn in America 
My roommate is a pretty stellar photographer!
