Yellowstone Trip - Day 5

On Day 5, we left Yellowstone and the beautiful house in Ashton, ID and drove to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  We stayed in a beautiful condo in Teton Village, right up at the ski resort.  We ate lunch in downtown Jackson and shopped around a bit.  Then we took a tram ride up the mountain at the ski resort.  It was a beautiful ride up, but cold and windy on top.
Hey look, a cute picture of the whole family!

On our way to Jackson, we stopped in a little town of only 200, called Wilson, Wyoming.  My great-great-great-great grandpa, Elijah Wilson had a son, Elijah Nicholas Wilson, who was a pioneer that settled Wilson.  He was also the white indian boy (he lived with the Shoshone Indians - a book and movie were made about it).  




It was neat to see a little bit of family history.

How cool! Not many people have a monument of someone in their family! :)
