okay so it has been OVER a month since we vacayed in jackson but i am finally posting our adventure! part of me had no idea which pictures to post so instead i just did pretty much all of them. i need carrie to do a post as well because she had so many great ones too. we said we were gonna combine photos but of course we just have done that yet!
to give a background of why we chose jackson for our family destination spot it all goes back to my wonderful bosses at Circa. Jane & Cindy are two of the sweetest & most generous people around. we work our butts off every day on crescent avenue but in the end they are always so giving & kind to me and my family. last christmas they gave us the opportunity to take a vacation to jackson hole & let our whole family stay at jane's house......which i need to say is TOP of the line....felt very much like a ritz carlton! the house was so perfect for all of us and just waking out the back door was like walking in to a mountain paradise.
i headed out the week before for an installation for a client and then everyone else came out the following saturday. we hit every adventure we could think of....family hike at leigh lake with a picnic lunch, mountain biking, the rodeo, 4th of july town parade, rafting down the snake, yellowstone for a day, & some super yummy restaurants. i would highly recommend it for a fun place for a family vacay spot....of course having the "circafied" home to stay in for the week did make the vacation a full 10 stars!
lots of pics below to enjoy. sorry i have bombarded with so many but i just love each and every one. i couldn't decide which ones to cut. hope everyone is having a great summer!

4th of july parade in town. it really was one of the best parades i have ever seen. we sat on the corner and collected candy & goodies for about 2 hours. Hen & Lucy soaked up every minute.
