Weekend of Firsts

It was another beautiful blue sky weekend here in Jackson, so (like always) we decided to take full advantage of it. On Friday afternoon, Trevor went and did an overnight fishing trip and float with his dad, Rob, on the South Fork of the Snake River near Swan Valley, Idaho (an hour from Jackson). The fishing was good, the company and the beers were better, however the fabled salmon fly hatch had yet to arrive, so it was mostly streamer fishing with some dry flies thrown in. Perhaps the fish would have been more willing to hang with us if Rob's classy hat/towel doorag combo wasn't so obsurd.


On Saturday, I met up with Trevor over the pass in Victor, Idaho after they finished their float (Rob took off to Dubois, WY) and was his cheerleader for a fast round of golf...the whole 18 holes only took him 2 hours, mostly due to my skilled and extremely fast golf cart manuevering, so he decided to keep going and played 9 more holes until the bugs tried to eat us alive and we booked it.


In the spirit of firsts, after golf we went to catch a movie at The Spud, the local Victor drive-in movie theater, something we have been wanting to do since we moved here. It was a double feature that didn't even start 'til 10:00 pm, but such a cool scene, we felt like we had time traveled back in time.



Today we did a new hike in Grand Teton National Park to Emma Matilda Lake (what a great name, huh?) and Two Oceans Lake. The best part was easily all the wildflowers, we were engulfed in them along with the million blue dragon flies we encountered. It was a great way to wrap up the stellar summer weekend. Hope you all had fun too!
