For those not staying a week...

Just so everyone is aware, Monday October 10th 2011 is Columbus Day so most schools and probably a lot of businesses are closed.  I don't know if this will change your plans to stay til Monday rather than Sunday.  I know a lot of you still have kids to get back home to (if you are not taking them along).

For those staying 3 nights (leaving Sunday):
We recommend driving around the Grand Tetons with us on Saturday.  We will then be heading up to Yellowstone and would encourage you to drive up with us.  You can go as far as you'd like.  You will most likely have enough time to see West Thumb area and Upper Geyser Basin (Old Faithful and majority of other geysers are in this area).  If time permits you'll hopefully have time to head up to Grand Prismatic Springs which I think is also a must if you've traveled out there.  By that time you'll probably want to start heading back to Jackson (2+ hours away) to get back to your hotel for the night or continue onto West Yellowstone with us if you decide you want to stay the night there.  It depends on how much driving you want to do the next day and what time your flight is.  I know a few of you have decided to come up to Bar-N for the night so we welcome everyone else to.  Maybe some of you doing this can even carpool together.

For those staying 4 nights (leaving Monday):
Everything included in above 3 nights but instead of driving down to Jackson you can continue onto West Yellowstone with us and stay 2 nights at either Bar-N Ranch (if they will allow a 2 night stay) or another hotel in town.  This way you'll get to spend another entire day in the park.  The next day we'll explore the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone area which includes the Upper and Lower Falls.  We'll also probably stop by Yellowstone lake for a few pictures and hopefully we'll see some good animal activity in Haden Valley along the way.  You can then return back to West Yellowstone for the night.  I'd recommend an afternoon flight the next day so that you can drive down Monday morning (~3 hrs scenic drive to airport).
Another option is to stay 1 night in West Yellowstone and last night back in Jackson.  This way you can spend all of Saturday and Sunday with us driving around Yellowstone and then you can head back to Jackson towards the end of the day on Sunday (probably from Jackson Lake area which is probably 1.5 hours from Jackson).

For those staying the entire 6 nights with us please see the "Wedding Weekend" tab for our planned itinerary.

You didn't miss our wedding

So apparently on our "Save the Date" we put 2011 on the front (correct) and 2010 on the back (obviously wrong).  The printer must have screwed things up  :-)

You luckily haven't missed the wedding.  It is October 7, 2011.  Sorry for the mistake.
Now go and make your travel arrangements!
