After a long and busy year of lots of changes [read: moving across the country, starting MBA School (Adam), starting a new job (Megan), being pregnant whilst working 40 hours a week (Megan- lest there be any confusion), moving again 2 weeks before baby was due, starting a summer internship in SLC (Adam), having a baby (Megan), learning how to be awesome parents (Adam and Megan), becoming a mostly stay at home mom (Megan), to name a few] Adam and I decided a vacation before starting year 2 of MBA school was an absolute MUST.
Waaaay back in August, we took a quick weekend trip up to Rexburg, ID to visit my brother who is in school there. While we were there we took a day trip over to Teton National Park- somewhere Adam had always wanted to go. After spending but a few short hours in Teton splendor we decided we had to return, thus the first annual Hughes family Vacation destination was selected.
Here are a few photos from our day trip to Teton National Park.

We headed out for our official Hughes Family Vacation the week before Labor Day. We spent four splendid days visiting Grand Teton National Park (again) and Yellowstone National Park (they are right next to each other). We stayed at a great little place in the mountains called Togwotee Mountain Lodge in Moran, WY ( http://www.togwoteelodge.com/) and loved it! Stay there- you won't regret it. The scenery was breath taking! Adam and I were blown away by the beauty of this little corner of the earth. Our first day in the parks we stopped every 2 minutes to oggle the phenomenal sights and to designate every beautiful place as the new spot for the retirement home of our dreams. For me, it was yet another testament that God really does love His children in order to create such beauty for us to enjoy.
Avarie was an absolute peach on the trip. She was a happy little camper the whole time. As long as there was someone sitting beside her in the car she would chatter, coo and squeal to her hearts content. She is quite the contented traveler.
