Wyoming was our first destination. This least populated state in the country is probably best known for its national parks. We stayed in the town of Cody, created by Buffalo Bill (Colonel William Frederick Cody), which despite its small permanent population has a regularly served airport known as as the Yellowstone Regional Airport. The last time we visited Yellowstone I left from the different Yellowstone Airport (which is at the west entrance to the park, just in Montana). One day I may fly from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport in the north west to complete the set.
So yes we planned to visit Yellowstone but Cody is also a pleasant place to start. The campground is less than a mile from the airport and is billed as a destination in itself rather than a place just to spend the night. It had the usual facilities like a swimming pool, playground and jumping pillow. It also had a games room that impressed me for having things children would actually want to play with (an indoor climbing wall, a games console, up to date movies). The most Wyoming activity was horse riding and this was very popular with Hatty.
The first time she took the horse herself and the second time she had rounded up her friends for a group expedition. Needless to say she was a natural.
Mikey is not ready for that but he still enjoyed the playground and jumping pillow.
Our trip to Yellowstone was marred by some poor weather. It was cold drizzly so we were much less adventurous than previously. It was still an incredibly beautiful place.
The highlight of the trip was just as we were about to exit the park and we noticed the tell-tale sign of lots of cars parked by the side of the road. There must be something interesting here!
And there was...
