Day 3 in Yellowstone - Lake Yellowstone

Yellowstone Lake is absolutely beautiful!  You can see nothing but water for as far as you can see with the occasional pop of land covered with trees.  It is so peaceful.  The day of our visit, the air was quite smoky from wildfires in Jackson so we weren't able to see some of the sites that are normally part of the lake tour.  All of that aside, we enjoyed our one-hour tour on Lake Queen II.  

We spent about half the day at the marina, enjoying lunch and checking out the gift shop.  We strolled along the boardwalks in the marina and watched the Ravens and lone buffalo that graced us with their presence.  

Closing Out Day 2 with Dinner at Cafe Sabor and Music from Waiting For James

 Day 2 is in the history books.  It was a full day and a fun day for sure.  

Dinner at Cafe Sabor was delicious!  We finished out the evening with an outdoor concert by Waiting for James.  A family band who travels.  They are fantastic!  Dawn and Quinn (Mom and Dad), Cameron, Olivia and James started their band during COVID and have continued since.  Such talent!

Enjoy a sampling of their music.

Here are a couple of pictures of their family band.

Day 2 - Mammoth Hot Springs

Mammoth Hot Springs was a chosen destination.  I'd read so much about it and seen pictures of the orange and white hillside with hot water spilling down.  It's a huge area that's been created over decades and decades of heat and chemical reactions.  It's truly a marvel!  If you ever have the chance to visit the park, be sure to make this stop one of the top of your list.
