Old Faithful


Steven and I actually took some time and slept in a little today. We were staying at the Mammoth Hot Springs Inn, and must I say it was noisy. However, Steven could not get over the shower...he loved it. With that being said, we were on our way around 083o this morning to have breakfast at the Grill. We drove to the Madison and Old Faithful areas of the park arriving just in time to see Old Faithful erupt. Some of the best pools and geysers are in the Old Faithful area (also known as the ring of fire). Remember when we were in Ireland and I blogged about Steven's aunt telling me he was high maintenance.....well he really isn't, he just likes his shoes to match what he is wearing.....today...HIKING all around Yellowstone....he wore black suede shoes just so they would match what he was wearing. I have laughed all day....but I must say Mr. Steven made it throughout the day without ONE bit of dust on his shoes. Now that is working some shoes. As for me, I came up with the bright idea to buy running shoes and bring them on the trip.....I now have two very large blisters on each of feet and a sunburn to boot. See....he is the smarter of the two. Anyway....it was a great day and we have really enjoyed this time just relaxing and seeing the wonders of nature. OH one more story, Steven rescued a lady in distress. We happen to be at a restroom near the Morning Glory Pool and a lady was in real need of a biological break. She walked in and immediately walked out after discovering there was no tissue paper. Steven is always ready for any emergency...he dug in his bag and handed her the needed supplies. Of course the lady was in love with him at this point.
