You know what really cracks me up? The Grand Tetons original name came from the the French-Canadian fur trappers of the area, who manages the mountains Les Trois Tetons. That translates toThe Three Breasts. So what did I do today? I went to see the Grand Boobies. They're a lot pointier than I anticipated. There were probably some fur trappers just sitting around the fire one night and one of them said, "You know what would be really funny?"
Everyone in the car was really grumpy, myself included. You'd be grouchy too if you had to sit in the back seat heat for hours on end. Three nights camping in Yellowstone can really bring down morale. I was to the point where all I wanted was warm, running water, a real bed with no mosquitos, and above all, free wifi. I think the state bird of Wyoming might be the mosquito. Also, they're having a heat wave out here, so the temperature has hovered between 95 and 100 degrees. Unlike Indiana, there isn't a lot of humidity out here.
We arrived at the Hampton Inn in Idaho Falls (way to go, Idaho). Then we found out it was the wrong Hampton Inn, so we had to drive across town. By that point it was dinner time. Mom picked us out another Irish pub called The Celt. Turns out Idaho is not so strict about kids eating near a bar, so we got to sit inside. I liked the place immediately because they had hung various different Real Salt Lake soccer scarves from the ceiling. I pushed through my exhaustion to eat the most delicious Reuben sandwich ever.
Back at the inn we wiggled into our bathing suits. We swam for a few hours before collapsing into real beds with no mosquitos.
