Grand Teton National Park wowed us from beginning to end, and we packed as much in as we could. We enjoyed many picnics (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), scenic drives through the park's prairies and forests, strolls along the Snake River, a day hike up into the mountains, and numerous wildlife sightings. Matt's dad and I catalyzed each other into a frenzy of photo-ops that was unparalleled previously in the trip, going to great lengths for that perfect shot. Matt and his mom were good sports throughout the entire trip; they endured terribly long waits at scenic pull-offs, woke up at the crack of dawn for sunrise shots, and one evening at the Jackson Lake Lodge sat patiently staring at delicious, uneaten desserts as we abandoned them for sunset photos on the balcony. Thank you for being such good sports!
