Hello, Sunshine: The Honeymoon

We went to Star Valley where Jared's grandparents have a cabin. We got there around 4 or 5 to a treat!

Whoever winterized the cabin turned every. single. breaker off.

There was still food in the fridge.

But not just food. No no. That would have been too easy. There was nearly 20 POUNDS of rotten meat in the freezer. Oozy, rotten meat. It stunk a little bit. So we spent our first night cleaning out the fridge. And don't worry about the fact that we had things that needed to go in the freezer. But since it was still very much winter in Wyoming, we just packed one of the coolers full of snow and put the frozen things in it. Mostly it was just ice cream. And good thing that was the only thing we put out there because it didn't work. The ice cream melted almost completely. (that's okay, it wasn't that good, anyway.)

But don't worry, that wasn't a precursor of what to expect out of the rest of the trip. We went to Jackson the next day and just walked around downtown. It is so cute and just a lot of fun. It started snowing big fluffy wet heavy flakes as soon as we got there. We bought heavier jackets. And they are so comfy and waaaarm!!! As we were walking around, we found the Ripley's Believe it or not museum. FUN!

Of course we went in. That Ripley guy found some really interesting things on his travels.

As we were leaving Jackson, we went to the Smith's and got some groceries because everything in Star Valley is closed on Sundays, which I can respect. Then we decided to get some massage oil because our backs were killing us from the bed we slept on. it's an old one. Anyway, our search for massage oil led to me getting a full body massage from a professional. Well, it was amazing...ly painful. But it was good.

We pretty much just hung out the rest of the week. It was chill and relaxed and just so nice to hang out with my husband and not care about anything else. We had to be back so he could work Thursday night. We left Wednesday and took our time to come home. Since I had never been to Soda Springs, that's the way we went. I didn't know there was a geyser in Soda and Jared said "There's a geyser somewhere" and I looked to my left and there it was, just shooting right up. Turns out it goes off every hour, on the hour for about 7 minutes. It was 3 pm at the time so we really got lucky to be able to see it. After the geyser went away, we drove home and ended the day by opening our wedding gifts. 5 crock pots. 5.
