For those of you who have never traveled the west, I highly recommend it. Every time we visit I am impressed with how unique it is in comparison to the east. Here are some images of what we encountered this trip:
Park City, UT

| Restaurant where J.R. enjoyed a bison burger (apparently they are very good!?) |
J.R.'s mom Susan took us to the Park City Mountain Resort where we tried out the Alpine Slide, an incredibly scary-looking zip line (that turned out to be pretty tame), and a self-propelled roller coaster that almost made me lose my lunch (I will admit it was fun though)!
Although we arrived at the Olympic Village around closing time, we still had a chance to see some of the ski jumps, as well as a group doing the public bobsled run.
Park City by night...
We had dinner at an amazing little Italian restaurant at the edge of town.

After visiting with the Kotters (previous post) the next day, we made our way to J.R.'s Aunt's house for a visit. It was a beautiful day so we took a drive up to the peak.
Willard Peak, UT
We found some hang gliders at the top.
You may just have to be a little insane to attempt this--God bless him!
The following morning we drove up to J.R.'s Aunt's cabin. I love this gorgeous place!
Island Park, ID

| Norman loves it more! He was so happy to see J.R. again too! |

| Up at 6am the following day for our trip into the Beartooths |
Drive through Montana (by the continental divide)
Yellowstone
After driving one route that leads you through the length of the park,
we reached the main highway to our destination.

| Can you see the "tooth" in the upper right-hand side of the picture? |
We ended our day with a drive back through Yellowstone at sunset. Beeeauuutiful!!!
Norman obliged us with a small photoshoot before we left the cabin to head home...
All in all it was a great trip visiting with J.R.'s family and revisiting another part of this beautiful country!
You take amazing pictures no matter what time of the day it is! Kotters pictures of their family turned out really cute I think. Thanks for sharing all the pics Jen! I wish you guys lived closer too so we could see you guys more.
