Thanksgiving 2010 - Jackson, WY.

Before Andi, our annual Thanksgiving tradition was to go camping together. Goal was always one of the national parks in the region. Since camping in zero degree weather with a toddler doesn't really spell out "fun" to me, but we still wanted to have a little adventure get-away as a family, we decided to go with a cabin in Jackson, WY. Still close to a National Park :)
We had a lot of fun walking through town, we went swimming in the pool, played in the snow in Grand Teton National Park, got to see a lot of animals (lots of elk, deer, moose, a couple of buffalo, foxes, bald eagles, and even two wolves, which was a total treat!), went up in the gondola of Jackson Hole ski resort, and did what every other American does during Thanksgiving break: be lazy and eat :).
