After over a year and over a hundred hours of planning, "Day 0" was finally here! We were going on the road trip I had been looking forward to for AGES. Once we had our rental cars, played a little tetris to get everything in the cars, and everyone filled their water bottles and emptied... other things ;), we were on our way!

| 1278 - I've NEVER driven a car with so few miles on it!! |
It was awesome to be back at the cabin, even if it was only for a second (or at least what felt like only a second!)
In the morning my mom made us delicious breakfast (I told you, she's the best) and we were off on our merry adventure. First stop: the Tetons.

| And we're off! Thanks mom for the picture. :) |
The first thing we did was, of course, take the obligatory sign picture.
The Tetons, of course, were spectacular as always, clouds and all.
Then it was off to our next stop - Yellowstone!
Once we got to Old Faithful, we all had the opportunity to split up and do our own thing. Most of the gang stayed to watch Old Faithful erupt, but Brady and I headed to the rest of the Geyser Basin and Morning Glory Pool.
After dinner, we all met up again, watched Old Faithful erupt one more time, and headed off to our camp.
Waiting for us at camp were a few deer that my friend Ivy got a picture of, and a long wait to check in because something in the office dryer had caught on fire and they had to evacuate! Whoops. Once the fire department came and gave the all-clear they were able to check us in, and we headed to our site. After setting up our tents in the cold rainy night we hunkered in for a chilly night's sleep! The main thing we learned that night is that Brady and I would really love to invest in a double sleeping bag. ;) It got below 30 degrees... on July 27th! BRRRRRRRRRR.
