Yellowstone National Park // July 2018

It's been three months since this little 2-day road trip, but I still wanted to post about it and show some of my pictures!

We stopped at nearly every side road, and one of the first was the Artist Paint Pots Trail. We didn't make it to the Paint Pots (it was very hot and unshady), but went to the Thermal Basin.

Then, we drove all the way up to Mammoth Hot Springs.

We of course had ice cream before eating lunch.

Buffalo Chip ice cream sounds very appetizing, don't you think? XD (That's the flavor that I got actually)

This other store was by a waterfall, which I took pictures of but realized afterwards that they weren't in focus *facepalm*

We were bummed that this geyser had just one off one week before we were there!

The second day we spent time at the Old Faithful Lodge.

Quite the crowd turned out to watch Old Faithful.

We peeked at some of the artifacts and antiques.

I ate this same sandwich both days at the park, so it deserves a picture.

We saw many of the cool-looking pools. I took half a billion pictures of them, but will spare you :)

I'm so happy I got the chance to visit YNP again! It had been a while since I was there last. I hope you liked seeing my photos!

At Bannack Ghost Town est. 1862

** I wrote this post in July, after I went to Yellowstone, and I'm not really sure why I never published it... Anyway, I'll do it now! I will also dig up some pictures of YNP to post eventually too :)**

While I was in Montana, we stopped at Bannack State Park to see the ghost town there! The town has over thirty buildings that you can go inside. It was really cool to see all the old lean-tos, outhouses, cabins, and even go upstairs in the buildings. I took lots of pictures!

This is the main street of the town. In 1863, it had a population of 3,000 people.

The two story hotel is made of brick. This was the first building I went inside. My brother and I explored every room of the hotel, and even went up the stairs.

There were a lot of rooms upstairs off of a really long hallway. All the rooms were yellow, and the wallboards were peeling off in some places. The floorboards creaked. (photo credit to my bro)

There were lots of old doorknobs that I couldn't resist taking pictures of.

The badly tuned piano in the saloon. My brother played a song on it and you could hear it echoing down the street.

What is left of the saloon. My brother also took this picture.

This is the Methodist church.

The inside of the church reminded me of Christy and When Calls the Heart.

Some of the doors were locked, so we peered through the keyholes.

Most of the buildings did not have furniture. However, in the backroom of a cabin stood a huge wardrobe. I looked inside, but didn't see Narnia.

In the same building, there were newspapers plastered onto the walls. Sadly I didn't get pictures of any of the cabins that had dirt floor.

This was the town jail.

I think these stairs were in the Gibson House, a rooming house that was built in 1862.

There were a lot of little bunnies running about the grounds.

The schoolhouse looks very interesting. It was built in 1876.

The last house we went in had furnishings as well as another piano.

In the bedroom, a dress made of a sack hung in the "closet."

What do you think about Ghost Towns? I think they're really cool!

🎆 Disneyland! 🏰

I recently got back from Disneyland! I had a wonderful time and took some pictures that I thought would be fun to share!

On the airplane! Which of these do you like better? ↑ or ↓ . Copy and past the arrow into the comments :)

Just stepped in the park!

We rode a horseless carriage down Main Street and the driver told us about the horses as we passed one!

There were tiny baby ducklings on the dock going to Tom Sawyer Island :)

The Mark Twain Riverboat!

I've never done the Davy Crockett Canoes, but I think it would be fun.

I saw lots of construction for Star Wars Land (Galaxy's Edge). The structures were incredibly tall.

Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Bars are a must have!

The train takes a new path around the park. It was scenic around Tom Sawyer's Island. To the left was a lot of construction, although they did their best to block it off. You can see the crane a little in this picture.

I got this picture in Indiana Jones Adventure and I like it XD "TAKE HEED!" haha

We headed to Tomorrowland for Autopia!

So many pins in one of the shops! Do you collect Disney pins? I don't, but I still have a few. Maybe I can show them in the next random post.

I always like going to the Star Trader because it is the biggest shop that is not on Main Street. I wonder what it will sell if all the Star Wars merchandise moves to Galaxy's Edge?

Speaking of... There was already some 2019 Galaxy's Edge merchandise available in the Star Trader. I believe it was just these two shirts (mens and womens styles).

Fun fact: We saw YouTuber Brian Hull (external link) while we were shopping in the park!

The Castle!

Popcorn anyone? There was so many flavors and even different colors O_O

And lastly, I'll finish off with this photo of Alice's Mad Tea Party. I love the lanterns in the dark.

I had a great time at Disneyland! My favorite ride this time was probably Space Mountain! Have you been to Disneyland? What is your favorite ride?

PS I'm not really feeling the sign-off thing anymore. Thoughts? Pros/cons?
