Taggert and Bradley Lakes

June 6 is a special day for my Vacation Races adventures.  It was the day of my first VR races and it was a last minute trip to Utah to do the first Zion at Night.  I ran on Saturday at 7:00 and from then I was hooked!

Sunday was also the day that Dave arrived and we began our anniversary and birthday celebrations!  His flight arrived at 10:15, so I was able to go to breakfast at Nora's Fish Creek Inn for a yummy breakfast.  I also was able to hit the grocery store in order to stock up on supplies for hiking lunches.   

The airport also had an antler arch

Dave flew into Jackson Hole Airport and wow what a cool airport!  He landed right beside the Tetons and the airport is actually in the National Park.  

Unfortunately it was not the greatest arrival because his luggage was not with him.  I was happy he had made his 30 minute connection, but his luggage had not...including his carry-on bag that they had asked him to check!  So all he had were the clothes on his back.

But not to be deterred, we headed straight to the Grand Teton National park for hiking and a picnic lunch!

We stopped at the first hike we came to which was Taggert Lake.  

After we hiked to Taggert Lake, we then hiked to Bradley Lake.  

Wildflowers were in bloom this time of  year in Jackson 

Bradley Lake

Dave found animal rubbings on a tree...always scouting as a hunter!

After our 6 mile hike, we took the scenic drive around the park.  One place we stopped was Signal Mountain.   

Another stop we made was the Chapel of the Sacred Heart.

It seemed as if every where we looked, we saw magnificent sights.

Oxbow Bend

Our energy level was dropping, so we decided we needed to go into Jackson for supper.  We did make one pit stop at Mormon Row on the way.

We ended up getting pizza at Pinky G's!  The we shopped some...looking for pants for Dave as he needs them for tomorrow's horse ride in case his luggage doesn't arrive.  We weren't successful in the pants area, but we did get ice cream at Moos Gourmet Ice Cream.  I got huckleberry and Dave got vanilla.

Because Dave had no extra clothes, we needed to do laundry tonight!!  So back to the Hostel.  Tomorrow would be another day for more hiking!!
