Jackson, Wyoming to Salt Lake City, Utah

Happy Father's Day Ronnie!

This morning we headed west out of Jackson over Teton Pass (Elevation 8,431 feet) towards Idaho.  We passed many potato farms.  The landscape was hilly and green with larger mountains in the distance.  We are continually amazed at the changing landscape as we drive.

The kids played Uno for almost 2 hours of the 5 hour drive to Salt Lake City.  Actually, the drive didn't seem too difficult from the passenger seat (Ronnie might think differently).   We stopped once for a little stretch and "relief"and it appears as if we are being followed by tour buses with passengers of Asian decent.   Don't really know what to say about that...other than the line to the restroom was LONG.

We checked into the hotel and had just enough time to change out of our long sleeve shirts to something cooler (97 degrees) before heading to the 2 pm organ performance at the Tabernacle.  It was nice, but having just come from Yellowstone, it was a bit underwhelming.  We got a few pictures from Temple Square and headed back to the hotel for a much needed break.

Tonight we will try out the Red Iguana for dinner which is highlighted on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives.  Salt Lake City is a ghost town on Sunday's (makes sense) and many businesses and restaurants are closed, but this place looks yummy!

Tomorrow we will have another long drive to Reno, NV.  We are planning to stop and check out the Bonneville Salt Flats and maybe even Lovers Lock Plaza.  

The kids are really looking forward to getting to California, me too!
