a few family members
decided a trip into the park
would complete the vacation experience.
there is so much history and tradition
that originated from my own
grandma and grandpa hart.
memorial day and labor day,
were set aside for the whole hart family
to enjoy
yellowstone.
i remember staying in
OLD FAITHFUL INN
and being mesmerized by all the logs,
the levels,
the stairs,
and wings to the hotel.
whether we stayed there or not,
a visit was always on the agenda.
grandpa hart gave us money to spend
on a souvenier or trinket.
i usually spent mine at hamilton's.
it may look different in appearance
and though the items for sale
seem to be more commercialized,
(i recall tourquoise jewelry, tomahawks, feathers,
cedar boxes, arrowheads and black bears)
the sentiments still hold dear to my heart.
while waiting for lunch to arrive,
i took advantage of the time to browse.
johnathan wanted to walk to
OLD FAITHFUL
where the crew would watch
old faithful
spew it's steam and water.
on the way,
i saw this sign...
i laughed, like who appraoaches wildlife?
my nephew commented,
"i have seen bison here sometimes."
and
voila!
mr. bison right there.
i grabbed my camera ... and did the unthinkable
APPROACHED WILDLIFE !!!
(i guess the sign is for people like me)
the feeling of nostalgia
was everpresent as
we approached this historic building.
i stood
still amazed, in awe and wonder
of earth
and the glorious creation...
i am reminded of another blog post
"just who is this old faithful ?"
from the red door
the grand clock
the radiator
the wood signs
the cozy fireplace
the one of a kind
huckleberry ice cream
the light fixtures
to the gift shop...
so much to take in
like clock work,
OLD FAITHFUL never disappoints
he hasn't seen the last of me yet
