Almost exactly 1 year ago we took the trip of a lifetime...now, we are excited to add to this blog of that trip, our journey back to Jackson Hole, WY to get married!
We had 23 close friends and family members join us in WY on Thursday, July 23, 2009 to start celebrating. Our trip started off around 10:00 a.m. when me, Mike, my parents, Jo Anne & Skip flew out of Greensboro, NC to Chicago. Believe it or not, Chicago was on time and no delays to report...except for one - Skip! Apparently the other 5 of us were walking a bit too quickly through the airport because we only had 45 minutes to walk from terminal A to terminal Z! So we make it to the gate without Skip, but he did manage to turn up with food in his hand and ready to board the plane on time! So off we go from Chicago to Jackson, WY.
We landed in the beautiful Teton's in Jackson around 2:00 p.m (that's mountain time, of course). My "little sister" Lauren met us at the airport with hugs and smiles and then Me and Mike took off for downtown to get our marriage license! My parents and Lauren waited for my other "sister" Brittany to arrive about 30 minutes behind us.
As we drove into downtown, we got a hold of Mike's family - his parents, sister and brother-in-law had arrived earlier and we're checking out the shopping...so we met up with them and had our very own photographer (aka, Holly Austin, Mike's Mom) while we signed our papers!
Then we all headed to Teton Village where everyone was going to be staying for the next 4 nights. Mike and I checked in to Hotel Terra - absolutely beautiful!!! We couldn't have been happier with our 1 bedroom suite...we had a living room, balcony and a full kitched, oh and 2 bathrooms!
Then we drove over the condos most everyone else was staying at. Both of our parents were in the same building along with Mike's friends: Jesse, John, Mark and Kacie. Most interesting about these condos was NO A/C! I guess the owners figured its colder there than hot, but I think they all stayed nice and cool with the fresh mountain air coming through their windows.
Time to eat! Mike called his friend Neil who lives in Jackson and works at the Cadallic (a restaurant downtown)...he got us in at 6:30 - we ate outside, it was gorgeous! And the food was good too!
After dinner, the younger crowd headed to the Mangy Moose to catch up and have a few drinks...............great hang-out!
