Howdy, Y’all!

Howdy from Wyoming where this suburban New York slicker is on vacation with the hubby and kids experiencing this spectacular slice of America, purple mountains majesty and all. Last week I was in Manhattan near Rockefeller Plaza being interviewed on WNBC and it was so terrific to see all the tourists from all over the world enjoying our city. So now it’s my turn to be a “gaper” (local slang here at Jackson Hole for out-of-towners) here out west.

So far it’s been spectacular. The Snake River Lodge is our jumping off point to do the tourist thing. Yesterday we toured the beautiful Grand Teton National Park. Part of our wanderings included a three-mile hike up a mountain. The hubby took a pix of me on top of a 1,000 foot cliff called Inspiration Point but he “forgot” the cable thingy to allow him to upload it into my laptop so I could post it here. So instead, I am posting a gorgeous pix of the mountains we explored, courtesy of my son. Enjoy!

Hope you’re enjoying your end-of-summer time, at home or away. Wish you were here!

Took a family trip out west last year. We were shocked by the vastness, warmed by the hospitality and began to understand how topography and geography can affect ideology. We (who pretty much thought we knew it all) were taught a thing or two.

Hi Leigh, I know just what you mean! I'm so glad I had this opportunity to show my kids a part of the country so spectacular and so different than the one they are growing up in. The people out here couldn't be more welcoming and interested, too, in hearing about our life back east. All in all, a winner of a trip! Thanks for reading and writing. Cheers, Laurie
