Jackson, Wyoming

We made a short stop in Jackson, Wyoming – rather Teton Village—which is the ski village located 10 miles out of Jackson proper.  I thought it would be nice to spend Mark’s birthday (and no I am not divulging his age-suffice it to say he’s still “got it”) at a resort hotel for a change of pace.  So I booked a nice room with a huge jetted soak tub and a great view and we kicked back for two days and enjoyed a little “civilization”. 

The first day we explored the resort and went to a local brewery for dinner, The Roadhouse.  On his actual birthday, we had a nice breakfast out and then we went off to the spa where we had a couples’ massage and indulged in all the spa amenities including the rooftop hot tub which had magnificent views of the mountain and surrounding valley.  Sweet!  After the spa it was back to the room for a nap and then we headed into Jackson for dinner at the Million Dollar Bar and Restaurant.  The bar boasted western style design with saddles for seats at the bar, pool tables and other typical bar stuff.  For dinner, Mark tried the buffalo rib eye steak with lobster béarnaise sauce.  Oo la la!  He said it was very good.  After dinner we took a short walk around the downtown area.  Check out the entrance to the small park in the center of town with the “antler entrance”.  Antlers are a design staple in Jackson apparently.   Mark said his birthday was great and he deserved a little R&R and pampering after all the driving and set up and tear down of the campsites he’s been doing. 
 

All around Jackson there are signs warning of moose in the area, we saw nothing.  No elk, no bear, no moose.  Although I did manage to snap a picture or two at the visitor center which may be as close as we get.
