Harley Ride 2009

That's right, I am a hot biker mama! (not really, I kinda looked more like a poser - but I can pretend right?) So Michael, Dave, Julie and I all went on a Harley ride this past weekend! Dave and Michael have gone on a few times in the past, but this year - Dave & Julie's graduation present to Michael was this Harley rental. So us ladies got to come along! I LOVED IT! Seriously, so relaxing and such a great time. Hopefully, with in the next couple of years we won't have to rent it anymore, we can just have one! It was so incredible!
Our first stop was in Afton, WY...

Then we made our way to Jackson Hole, WY... where we saw some sights and stayed the night...
Then on to the Tetons
(this was Dave & Julie's bike they were on, we switched for about 50 miles)...
Then onto Yellowstone, this was our longest day... we rode from about 9 am to 7:30. (with lots of stops of course). But it was my favorite day too. Yellowstone was GORGEOUS! I loved being on a bike, where you can look all around, and smell everything too... (This is my fishy face)
Okay, so I have always been super fascinated with bears, I have always wanted to see one in person, and I love to watch shows about them. We went to Yellowstone 3 years ago for our 1 year anniversary and didn't see one (except for the one in the caged area). But this time, there was the cutest little bear cub, right by the side of the road! It was so close! Loved it!
There was so much beautiful scenery all around. I couldn't help but feel so blessed to have the opportunity to ride around in such beautiful place, while holding my wonderful hubby close.
I told Michael that he is not going on another bike ride with out me =) I had such a great time, and Michael really was in his element.
We then went through Idaho, and took the long way home through Heber. We ended up going over 900 miles in 3 days. Thank you Dave & Julie!

Wowsers. What would happen if you just got tired of holding on? That would be too bad. I didn't know about your thing with bears. . . I hope you're not lying.

So fun! I am totally scared of motorcycles, but I am all about taking a vacation! Yellowstone looks amazing! Glad you guys had a good time!

That's so cute, I'm glad you had so much fun! And Mike looks totally G. in that bandana, maybe you should get him a Jazzy scooter so he can be in his element every once in a while, they cut very nicely around tight corners in any household! But ya'll really are just suhdarn cute, I love you!

I am so jealous! That looks like so much fun. Judd has a bike and we were going to something similar this summer, but his bike is broken now and we're not gonna fix if for a while. I'm bummed! You are a hot biker chick!! :)
I didn't know you liked sushi! We LOVE sushi. We should go out together sometime!!

That looks like fun. Did you butt hurt after riding for so long?

So remember how you haven't written anything at all in July? It's almost over, slacker.
