Fall Break. We drove up to Lava Hot Springs and soaked for a bit. Then went to Soda Springs to try out natural soda water and see the fountain. (It’s worth the stop if you are driving through.) On to Jackson for swimming at the hotel. And then drove through Teton and Yellowstone. Stopped by Jenny Lake, Old Faithful, and other turn-offs. I wanted to see bison, and we found a few. I also wanted to try something new, and we hiked out to Mystic Falls. It was a nice hike with a great waterfall at the end. We stayed at West Yellowstone, and then drove home and stopped by Bear World and Grandma’s house.

Good vacation. It was actually rather relaxing: we didn’t try to see everything, just enjoy ourselves.
