More Jackson Hole Fun
The Jackson Hole adventures continues. Yesterday was St. Patty’s day, which is always a fun time in a ski town. We saw lots of fine costumes out on the slopes. Here are some of the highlights.
The after-ski scene was also a good time. We stopped by the Mangy Moose again, which had an older crowd, but entertaining. There seemed to be a large middle America, middle aged ski club getting their swerve on.
On the way out, we stopped by Nick Wilson’s, which had a pretty fun outdoor scene with a band, as well as a festive St. Bernard.
Afterwards, we headed back to the condo, where we had a more mellow and less traditional St. Patrick’s Day wine and cheese celebration. I nearly burned the condo down when a log fell out of the fireplace, but fortunately I was able to do fairly quick damage control.
Today we took the day off from the slopes and chilled in Jackson. First we had breakfast at the Bunnery, a really good bakery. Next, we checked out the shops and then stopped at the Shade Café for a rest.
Meagan checked out the local knitting store while I cruised around town taking pictures.
Finally, we had some Thai food and then stopped into the local pet supply store to get some treats for one of our friends back in Seattle.
We’re now back at the condo, where we’re doing some wedding planning (always fun), and getting ready to head to town to check out a gunfight (somehow I doubt it will be real), get dinner at the Sweetwater, and watch a movie, either No Country For Old Men or The Other Boleyn Girl, depending on my chick flick tolerance.
Only other thing to note was the parade of ten Jackson Hole cop cars heading up the relatively obscure road leading to our hotel when we left this morning. When we returned several hours later, they were all parked in the hotel lot.
We were curious what was going on, but disappointed that it was nothing terribly exciting - apparently there was some sort of awards ceremony going on in the conference center.
Finally, I am curious how many people are actually reading this blog since I started it, so if you’re reading this and want a postcard from Jackson Hole, email me your address.
Snow in the forecast…woohoo!
