We had an easy day today--only travelling about 180 miles, so my stress level is down to a 5 or so on a scale of 10. Actually, the driving was a peach today and I manned the controls through the rest of Idaho. We took a side trip along the highway leading to the entrance to Yellowstone. The signs said it was a scenic route and touted all the falls and so on.
As we got further along the roadway, we began to question whether we were even on the right road. Arend always wants me to check the map, over and over, asking, "Are you sure we took the right turn? Sound familiar?
I kept telling him we were indeed on the right trail. "Can't you tell by where the sun is?" I asked. About that time we saw the sign that said the magic words we were looking for: "Falls, 3 miles ahead". When we stopped at the first place, we were kind of (okay a lot) disappointed. The falls were quite far away and were tiny--yes, I got that look again--"Are you sure we took the right turn?"
Thankfully just another mile or so and another sign--Upper Falls. Arend pulled into the parking lot, we heading along the pathway leading to our destination, and you wouldn't believe what we saw next.
A wedding party was assembled, ready to make the way down to the water's edge (right by the 101 foot falls) for the ceremony--how romantic is that?
Arend managed to get photos of the procession (as they walked down the staircase leading to the water) and even the bride and groom kissing--too sweet wouldn't you say? Come to think of it, we stumbled upon a wedding when we were in Holland a couple of years ago--hummmm--wonder what that means??
I'm finishing this on Monday (started on Saturday--I think) and then I'll post another entry for the last 2 days. Can you tell that I'm getting closer to home and I'm not keen on writing in this Blog now??? Not really, but I will be glad to lay my head down on my own pillow,
Till the next time, take care and God bless, Barb
