old faithful (and a potty break)

it just so happens that the most direct route between lander and bozeman goes right through yellowstone. on the way up thursday we took the northern road through cody, cooke city, and mammoth. and on the way back we went through gallatin canyon, old faithful, and out of the south entrance through grand teton. not too shabby. it was a long ride (8.5hrs) either way, but atleast we had lots of good scenery. on the way back, it worked out perfectly for a potty break and walking session at old faithful. and it was even well timed-- the geyser erupted right as we got to the boardwalk. miss baby enjoyed the walking more than anything and seemes less than impressed with old faithful itself. but we all enjoyed a chance to get out of the car. we also stopped by the old faithful lodge so that phil and isa could have their picture taken out front. isa's great grandmother worked there are the lodge as a young lady, so we just had to get a picture.
