Our last day in Wyoming...

7/21/2016

​It’s time to slow down a bit after being on the go for the past two weeks. We let the boys sleep in today. They’ve been up late most nights though we really haven’t gotten them up all that early. It will be different tomorrow as we head to the airport.
 
After our late wake-up and even later breakfast, we drove over to the National Elk Refuge Visitor Center to get passports stamped. And then, finally, the boys were given some time to explore Jackson (which means shopping) in small groups. The only other time they were given this was for a 30-minute period when we were in Cody. Boys got money for lunch and could choose their own “dining experience.”
 
After a couple of hours in downtown Jackson, we headed out for our afternoon activity which was our ever-popular bowling tournament. Bowling has just returned (last week) to Jackson after a fifteen-year absence so we were some of the first to use the lanes.
 
Nicholas Stanier was the overall bowling winner and takes home the big bucks. Other first place winners for winning in their lanes were Tres Bauknight, Cullen Jorgensen, Jackson Lammers, and Hayden Waters. They also came away with some extra dough. And second round lane winners were Bennett Slosman, Tom Moser, James Morton, and Sam Odom. They too took home some bucks! It was a fun afternoon.
 
We enjoyed our last seated dinner tonight at Sidewinders American Grill, which Mac and Weston saw featured last week on “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.” Everyone gave it two-thumbs up. We had a light ice-cream treat to finish our meal and then returned to swim and pack up.
 
We hope to get boys to bed early tonight. This time tomorrow, they should be safely in their own beds. And they’re ready!
 
It has been a wonderful trip filled with experiences these boys and leaders are sure to remember for a lifetime.
 
Thanks for following our journey.

    I never imagined that when I started taking kids on travel trips in 1978 that I would still be taking trips today! It has been a great ride and I'm looking forward to more.

    Over the years I've had the fortune to travel across the US several times, visit Canada several times, experienced Alaska, the Bahamas, Mexico, and Europe several times.
