Actually the trip was fabulous! Yellowstone was *amazing* - I'll post some pictures when we get them off the camera....we saw lots of elk, bison and bald eagles, along with waterfalls, steaming pools and of course, Old Faithful! Jackson Hole, WY was equally beautiful, but a bit *upscale touristy* for my taste - we got to ride the ski lift up, and alpine slide 2500 feet down the hill - the kids loved it! They also had a great Old West 4th of July parade and fireworks etc...Grand Tetons is beautiful/amazing and my younger son even caught a fish there!
Eating was a bit challenging on the road (in Jackson we had a kitchenette - plus the restaurants there were very good) we call Nevada and Idaho "land of the buffet" - ugh - gross even if intolerances are not an issue!! A couple of times Mike took the kids for pizza, and I got myself a salad at the local grocery store! Jackson actually had an organic restaurant (breakfast/lunch) with several GF menu items - but we mostly cooked in - except for one fancy dinner out - so I checked it out, but did not eat there...
I've got a lot of reading/catching up to do! My bladder behaved-UTI all better, but on the way there, we stopped *a lot* for potty breaks
I think I hit every gas station west of the Rockies 
And Yellowstone involves a lot of driving, as well - most of the scenic spots have porta potties at *best* - it would be a flaring MCer's nightmare 
Today is laundry and catching up on what has been happening around here....I'll check in later!
