Saturday night, 10:00 - Doug in bed, Ben in bed, Maria not in bed.
Sunday morning, 5:50 - Happy Ben out of bed, Doug in bed, Maria in bed.
Sunday morning, 8:00 - Not-so-happy Ben in back seat of car, as we are pulling out of the driveway, suggesting that next time we ask for more help from him on trip prep day, and adding that he'll offer his help.
Sunday morning, 11:00 - Everyone happy again, eating Subway sandwiches in Rawlins, WY. Ben points out that being in a desolate place like this empty-but-for-Subway-and-the-local-Republican-Party-headquarters-shopping-center, reminds him how great a place to live Colorado is.
Sunday afternoon, 3:10 - Ben: "Are those the Tetons?" Doug or Maria: "Nope, not yet."
Sunday afternoon, 3:18 - Ben: "Are those the Tetons?" Doug or Maria: "Nope, not yet."
Sunday afternoon, 3:42 - Maria: "There they are!"
Sunday afternoon, 4:00 - All checked in, all hungry, but no dinner at the lodge until 6:00. Back in the car.
Sunday afternoon, 4:45 - Sitting at a table on a small screened-in porch of an old cabin turned cafe, with a meadow and river stretching out before us, and the Tetons as the glorious backdrop. Wonderful food, wonderful view, happy family.
Sunday evening, 5:30 - Driving along the loop road from the cafe, hoping to catch back up with the hiway.
Sunday evening, 5:45 - Up ahead, the loop road turns to gravel.
Sunday evening, 5:46 - We cross a bridge over the river, right next to a fishing lodge. Doug's eyes light up as he stares at the water.
Sunday evening, 6:00 - We turn around to go back the way we came on the loop road, winding our way back to the highway and Togwotee Lodge to read until bedtime.
Sunday evening, 7:00 - Ben is ready to go to sleep. Do we really need the lights on?
Sunday evening, 8:45 - Ben realizes he can connect his laptop to the internet, and so play PacMan, and all is right with the world.
