Early morning...no coffee...meet bus for short trip to breakfast. Breakfast at E.Leaven - a great bakery in Jackson Hole! Coffee!! Following breakfast we set out for the Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. Not far out of Jackson Hole we saw wildlife! A moose! Pronghorn Sheep! More moose! The views of the Grand Tetons were beautiful! The weather was beautiful! Traveled into Grand Teton National Park only to discover that the spot where we were scheduled to have a potty break had closed (cross legs) so we journeyed further into the park and found a place where the gift shop was closed but the restrooms were open!! Relief! 
On to Yellowstone! Arriving at the site of Old Faithful, we had time to eat lunch before seeing Old Faithful erupt. We sat and waited for about 30 minutes. The eruption lasted about 8 minutes. After a visit to the gift shop - on to the motor coach to continue our route through a series of thermal basins - among them - the popular Fountain Paint Pot - pools of colorful, hot mud that bubble and sputter. We also saw bison!!
We were told to bring snacks in case we got hungry. Some were starving!
We made another stop in Yellowstone to see the Lower Falls - one of the most photographed spots in Yellowstone. As the sun was setting we made our way back to Jackson Hole - along the way we saw a heard of elk making their way along the road. 
Back in Jackson Hole - time for dinner and then on to bed.
