Tuesday July 18, 2006: Day 3 ~ Salt Lake City, UT to West Yellowstone, MT
We weren't able to see any polygamists running around SLC, but we did see potential polygamist compounds (ya know, the lots w/ more than 2 houses on em) & lots and lots of churches.
It only took us 5 hours to reach W. Yellowstone and along the way we got a taste of the beautiful scenery Yellowstone National Park has to offer.
W. Yellowstone is a charming little tourist town where everything is within walking distance of each other. That night we decided to have Chinese food for dinner. I know what you’re thinking… Chinese food in Montana?! But we were craving some rice. I guess it wasn’t meant to be because when we got there a busload full of Asian tourists were crowding the sidewalk outside the joint.
So, instead we ate @ Old Town Café a few doors down. I ordered the Rainbow Trout (yum) and Larnie got her usual Chicken Fried Steak. When the waitress brought my dinner she accidentally dropped one of my pieces of Montana toast (yummy cheese bread) onto the table. I didn’t say anything because I thought, “Oh, she dropped it, she’ll bring me another one.” But she never did and the dirty toast just sat there on the table as she brought Larnie her dinner and refilled her soda. And then after a good 5 mins, bitch, grabs both corners of the dirty piece of toast and tries to gently place it onto my plate! I look up @ Larnie in disbelief & turn to the waitress (w/ an evil Leia look) and say, “No, that’s ok.” And THEN she proceeded to put the dirty piece of toast back onto the table, as if I was still going to eat it! What the?!?! Larnie and I couldn’t stop laughing during dinner.
Here’s Larnie’s re-enactment of the Montana Toast incident:
FAVORITE QUOTE OF THE DAY:
Larnie: Wow! That's a huge bird!
Leia: [puzzled] That's not a real bird Larnie! Can't you see it's connected to a pole?
MISSION 3 ACCOMPLISHED! 1044 miles traveled
Wednesday July 19, 2006: Day 4 ~ West Yellowstone, MT to Cody, Wyoming
This was our day to explore Yellowstone National Park. We saw Old Faithful, hiked some trails and drove through the park. Here are just some of our photos:
After the Yellowstone drive we headed towards Cody, Wyoming, land of Buffalo Bill Country. The town was actually pretty hip for a Western town. It's downtown district had a bunch of restaurants, bars and shops that actually sold normal looking clothes. They are big on trading posts here in the Midwest. Wyoming is known for their meat so we decided to have ribs for dinner @ Wyoming's Rib & Chop House. We each got a half rack of baby back ribs and they were really tender and had the best BBQ sauce, sweet and tangy with just the right amount of kick. We would have taken a picture of the food, but we devoured them so quick we forgot to take pictures.
FAVORITE LARNIE MOMENT OF THE DAY:
Larnie had her shirt inside out the whole time we were at breakfast:
Oh MaLa!
