We spent today in search of memories from our honeymoon – and we found them! The Grand Tetons are more crowded than when we came in 1973 but we found an almost quiet stretch of Jenny Lake shore for our lunch. The door on the outhouse at Menor’s Ferry is now nailed shut, but it’s still there. We spent a quiet moment inside the Chapel of the Transfiguration before returning to Jackson Hole for a dinner of buffalo ribeye and Mighty Bison Brown Ale.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
How was the Mighty Bison Brown Ale?
It was great meeting you both! Thanks for the visit… I needed it. Enjoy the journey. 🙂
If they have to nail the door shut….
I LOVE Jackson Hole – everything is wood and stone! I also liked the antler horn entranceways to the town park – did you get to see those? It is such a beautiful place…and the Tetons……what a sight!
