vacation re-cap day 1

Day 1
Goal: Make it to Yellowstone with groceries in time to put up tent before dark.
Reality: notsomuch

Leave home at 8:30. Had hoped to be gone by 8:00, not too bad, only 30 minutes behind schedule. 8:45 realize I had not packed Thomas's margerine. The margerine I use to cook most of his food. You-can-only-buy-it-in-a-Kosher-market-at-Passover-margerine. Turn around and grab margerine from freezer. 9:00 leave home again.

Drive. Stop for lunch. Drive. Stop for dinner in Jackson, WY along with 1/8 the population of America, several European nations and several busses of Japanese tourists. Spend entirely too much time waiting on food from Taco Bell. Realize there is no time to grocery shop for perishables before getting to Yellowstone if you want any glimmer of hope for putting up a tent before dark.

Arrive in Yellowstone campground and put tent up in the dark anyway.

You're back :) Can hardly wait to hear about the trip! We haven't even hardly left the city limits this summer so I'm living vicariously through everyone else's vacations lol

Very funny vacation & marital blurb by the way.
