Our Double Date to Jackson!

Mom & Dad in front of the little cabin they stayed in on their honeymoon to Star Valley over 48 years ago. They are still very much in love!!
Enjoying dinner at Nora's Fish House.
Mmmmmmm!

The leaves were turning.  It is such a beautiful time to go to Jackson.
Dad is enjoying some peaceful fishing on the Salt.  Even if mostly 
white fish were taking the bate - what a gorgeous time we had!
Chatting over the fence.


Not much can beat a day like this on the river.



There were a few fish to be had mid-day.

The following are photos from our twilight float from 
Jackson Dam to Pacific Creek.  
We put in the canoes around 5:30pm and enjoyed 3 hours 
of the river to ourselves.  
We saw so much wildlife.  This is float that is magical this time of year because the Elk are calling and the scenery is unbeatable. The sunsets are the most romantic scenes.  Everyone needs to do this at least once in their lifetime!  It should definitely be on your bucket list! 
I think we all had perma-grins the entire night - except when 
Leisa didn't know if Dad meant left or right!! :)
We think this is a priceless photo!

Aren't they cute?!






We kept a pretty safe distance of about 20 yards from this mama and 
babe - thankfully they were immersed in their supper 
so as to not mind our gawking.  
Mom didn't want to leave these girls!



The view from our living room window.  

The beautiful Teton Range.


We were lucky enough to see this cute little black bear the last morning of our trip.

Clear a spot on your calender and lets play in Jackson next fall!!
(I'll put more photos up on my facebook site.
 It is easier to upload them there.)

What beautiful scenery. Those pics of the fishing are gorgeous. I heard nothing but great things from the other guests. We'll have to clear out a schedule for next year. Sounds VERY fun.

OH, I hope our marriages are as cute at 48 years, aren't we lucky to have such good examples.
