Girls Trip 2021 - Jackson, Wyoming: Day 3 - ATV Rides

This morning we had to get up and pack up because we needed to check out of our hotel before going back in to Jackson.  We did have some time to get some breakfast at the lodge before leaving for Jackson.

We got some gas before going to our check in place for the ATV rides.  We got all checked in and fitted for helmets and goggles before getting back into the van to go to our ATV spot.  We did have to drive about 30 minutes back towards the Lodge to get to our trails.  

We got all set with our helmets, goggles, and bandanas and we were off.  We had two single seaters and two double seaters.  My mom took Connie (who seemed really worried about riding) and I took Teagan (because I am nice).  Even with driving the double it was so much fun.  I would have liked to drive a little faster on the bumps but when I did it really made Teagan fly up, so I tried to take the bumps slowly.  

The guides drove us around to some awesome view spots and told us about the area, the trees, and plants.  On one of our stops we had lunch on our four-wheelers.  They had sandwiches, chips, cookies, and water.  The day started out overcast and cool, but by lunch it had gotten hot.  I wanted less talking and more riding, for I love it so much.  It was a very dusty and fun ride.  

After we got back to the cars we went back to Jackson and checked into our hotel for that night.  It was called Antler Inn and it was actually really quite nice for a motel.  We got all set, rested, and cleaned up before going to get some pizza for dinner.  

After dinner we stopped at a couple shops on our way back to our hotel.  Connie and mom went ahead of us back to the hotel and then onto the theater.  They had gotten us tickets to go see the local theater put on Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.  Wendy didn't want to go so she stayed back in the hotel. Julie, Teagan, and I then walked over to the play in the rain.  

We got our seats and waited for it to start.  I guess my Aunt Connie has some anxieties sitting next to strangers or being in big groups, or something.  She ended up snapping at me very rudely with the worlds must meanest look and that really hurt my feelings, so I ended up leaving the play about 5 minutes into the show.  I just couldn't sit there and enjoy the show and laugh along when I felt so terrible about how Connie had treated me.  So I went back to the hotel and hung out with Wendy.  Wendy was happy I was back and I was happy to get to spend more quality time together.  It was just too bad that the day had to end like that, but Connie did apologize the next morning.
