1st annual sisters weekend

End of July my sister Kiersten and I decided to take a weekend (with no kids!) to go visit my other sister Kelli who works at Yellowstone. I kept a "mini journal" (more for humor purposes) of our trip. So here it is:
Day 1:
Left 1.5 hrs late
Saw Coyote
Followed herd of buffalo (too dark for camera)
Joked about bear attacking car
Laughed at "welcome to yellowstone warnings"
Kelli's sucky direections look us 30 miles the WRONG WAY
(2am) finally made it
Got locked out of dorm room
Went outside dorm room to see mama and baby calf, heard it move, ran away (slowly)
Kelli stepped in cow pie on the way into her window
Went thru 3 pens writing this silly list
Watching backside for "Goring"
(4am) (i've been up almost a full 24hrs) laughed ourselves silly and made a new friend, Gordon Ramsmee

Day 2:
After going to bed after 5am we're awake by 9am :(
Went back to sleep til 11:30-harder to wake up than at 9
Watched bisen and cub from dorm window
Pulled over to see Elk on the side of the road
Souveneir shopping
Waited and wait for Old Faithful... it was.... eh....
Went on 3+mile hike to morning glory... saw tons of geysers
Back to hotel, ate frito salad (YUM)
Facebooked the hubs

Day 3:
Wanted to be gone "early" left at 11:30am
Took us 42mins to drive about 1.5 miles because of darn bissen crossing. (They aren't nearly as cool anymore)
Finally got to Uncle Tom's Trail. It was extremely steep starting off. It made me tired thinking about walking up & nervous seeing obviously very well fit men and women heavily breathing on their way up.
Made it to the bottom-one word-GORGEOUS!
Dragged outselves back up, 335 STEEP stairs (i almost fainted)
Watched in awe as boy with 1 leg ran passed us
Recovered-went on a new, ,shorter trail to Brink of Upper Falls-Fun, Easy, Beautiful!
Started to rain & storm w hile on trail-we didn't care, stayed and took pics
Started to hail-already soaked, we ran to the car.
Drove back to hotel-listen to Kiersten complain about bissin traffic, i took more pics & still wished one would come up to my window- or ram us :) Does insurance cover bissen? hmmm...
Went to Kelli's resturant for dinner. Had Antelope (tastes JUST like hamburger), Bisen (chewy but GOOD), Elk (YUM!) & lobster tail (tastes like cheap crab)$80 later for 3 meals... ouch!
Attempted to have a mini fire on the beach for S'mores... FAILED!
Used a lighter in the car to roast marshmellows on a stick... still had my s'mores
Went the the Pub-played pool & table tennis (note to self:never enter contest with Kelli)

Day 4: (final day)
Headed home :(
Tried to get last of remaining license plate states: I did find Maine :)


All in all, it was a great trip, and we had a wonderful time!
