Pointer pages in regular album

That point you to "The Album."

For those of you that followed our 2 month

travel escapade you'll remember that I did an album

as we went, so except for one page the

entire album was completed before we returned home.

I know it still boggles my mind as well.

This album is the West of the Mississippi Tour.

 This double spread (more or less) are our adventures

in Yellowstone park - And yes I did get the kit from the park store.

As you may or may not know, Tom and I don't do a lot

of pictures of ourselves and I decided that

we were going to include some for this trip because 

why not. 

So to make a statement or two, I printed the photo 8.5x11

and decided to scrap straight on that photo.

 With a note on the page to check out our road trip album

for more details.

 Because the story of this photo was fun.

 It's a gorgeous place and if you ever want to

go anywhere and only one place to go

check out Yellowstone Park.

You will NOT be disappointed.

 And because we took another photo together

that had another fun story with it, I printed two of them

because I wanted to frame one. When I

decided the photo to be frame needed to be tweaked,

I decided to scrap the second 8.5x11.

The Grand Tetons are the breathtaking mountains

you see on the ride to Yellowstone - if you're coming in

from Jackson Hole Wyoming - you

get a gorgeous ride to a phenomenal park.

Win-win.

Of course we stopped at the ranger station to get our

passport stamped and I picked up a couple of do-dads perfect

for scrapping.

Again pointing out the road trip album.

 Love how these 2 pages turned out and I

may also pull out other photos - maybe to tell a bigger story.

Its pretty hard to do that because it was so cool scrapping

as we went so the stories have already been told.

I also have a better idea of what to take now

although stopping at a scrapbook shop on the road

was a total win and I documented that.

If you go back through my posts started about mid-July in 2015

you can read about our exploits starting with Packed and Ready to Go.

The photos in my road trip album were printed from Canon Selphy printer.

Its a great road trip printer - small and compact however, the largest

photo size is 4x6.

It is also not the most cost effective printer but it was the convenience

of being able to have the prints instead of adding

them after the fact...

I also kept a separate "daily journal" that I'm going to

try to combine this next time around.

Yellowstone National Park is amazing

If you ever need to pick a place to go PICK

Yellowstone!

It's an amazing national park - bar none.

(Yeah Nick I know you love Grand Tetons but....)

We camped in Bay Bridge and RV/Tent campground

that was bar bones. We boondocked - which means no facilities-

no electric- water - sewer and/or dump.

AS we were driving out of our camp on our way to look for critters

we didn't get around the first curve and SHAZAM - ELK.

 These are juvenile elk.

Right outside our RV window.

 And thermals and cauldrens.

And Bison jams.

 I truly think these bison KNOW exactly what they're doing.

 And they are totally messing with the humans.

At least twice a day they decide to cross the highway - 

to get to the other side.

Then decide they need to go back to the other side.

Because the grass is always greener

and its alot of fun to cause a traffic jam and make humans suffer and wait.

LOL.

 The Grand Prismatic Spring - is soooo pretty.

 And colorful. I took a photo for a group

and they returned the favor.

Love this pix.

 Its really pretty and hard to get the full effect.

 Old Faithful.

It used to be every hour on the hour but now its

give or take ten minutes LOL.

Love to think its female.

This is not the blue moon.

I missed it.

However, this is the day after. 

I had to google the professionals - but there settings

didn't work for me - naturally because

my moon was orange

 and their wasn't.

It was beautiful - teasing as it came over the mountain and lake,

first as a glimmer of light, then as a sliver.

Then more and more it revealed itself until it became 98% full.

And less orange.

I liked the orange.
