I am typing this on the way to the beach after this year's trip. Truth be told, I would much rather be back in Yellowstone. The beach has its selling points, but I am just not feeling it this year. We were so fortunate to see a wide variety of wildlife each day. Staying in a different gateway community gave us more insight into the way of life for another group of folks. It really was nice to see new faces and make new memories in a new area of the park.Maybe it's the amount of animals we saw this year. Maybe it's the drastic weather changes (snow to heat) we experienced this trip. Maybe it's the joy of the new friendships that were forged. Or, maybe it is the fact that Yellowstone is a place that is forever tattooed on my heart that make me turn my eyes to mountains and valleys rather than sandy beaches and ocean waves. I like the beach, but my real love lies MT, WY, and ID.

AuthorI'm a teacher...plain and simple. I love to open the eyes of my students to parts of the world they may never see. Who knows what a tiny bit of exposure to a place, a thing, or an idea may do to ignite a spark in a child. They are the future of our world. If I invest in them now, perhaps I will see a return on my investment in years to come. Archives
