Day 3: Yellowstone National Park

After we got into the park Anna drove about 2 hours to make it to our final destination, THE old faithful geyser. We took a small (hour long) detour that took us past the lake, which would have been AWEZOME if we weren't an hour away from our destination and going on our 9th hour in the Corolla. But either way we got to see some beautiful parts of the park...

When we finally got to our cabin we were psyched because its directly next to old faithful...kind of like the splash zone. Our cabin is 203 if any of you were planning to visit, we have plenty of room! Anna makes it look really welcoming, we were going forp little house on the prairie...
After we settled into our new home we took a walk around all the geysers. By this time it was 8:30 and we had 30 minutes until Old Faithful went off again. On our walk around we came across a...BISON! We took lots of pictures with the lil' feller. He didn't seem to be half as interested in us as we were with him but, whatevaa. BFFSAEAE <3!
We managed to time our arrival perfectly because we were able to see the sunset right over the mountains! 
And around 9:10, two minutes after expected, Old faithful erupted!! She went about 20ft. into the air, leaving the whole audience in awe
 Afterwards Anna and I enjoyed dinner at the Snow Lodge, right across from our cabin. We learned that all the employees live in dorms and cabins, inside the park, just walking distance from the restaurant  AND THEY DO HAVE WIFI FYI! The chef said that without the morning basin crossings it would take him at least 45 minutes to drive to and from work everyday. Anna and I chose to respectfully decline the job offer, thnx anyway though!!  
Just a little look at how far we've come!! 

Goodnight Old Faithful! 
XOXO
