Yellowstone

On Monday, Mom had to go get her broken nail fixed, so I walked around the grocery store next door.  We drove up to Idaho and had lunch in Soda Springs.  Daisy got sick in the car and threw up all over everything in the backseat, including Shadow.  While Dad and I were cleaning stuff up, the cows kept mooing and scaring the cats.  We ended up in Jackson Hole and stayed in the Virginian Lodge RV Park.  We had stayed in the Virginian Lodge in 2007, but had never stayed in the RV park before.  We were in spot 57.  We at dinner at Bubba's BBQ.  I had the garlic toast, corn on the cob, red potato salad, and smoked turkey.  We drove around town before returning to the trailer.  I read the book, Angela's Ashes.

On Friday, we drove to the Fishing Bridge RV Park.  I read the book, Things I Want My Daughters to Know.  We were in spot G-326 and were packed in like sardines.
