Goin' to Jackson

"I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around, Yeah I'm goin' to Jackson, Look out Jackson town."



I know this isn't the Jackson that Johnny and June were talking about, but we're out here anyway so Jackson better watch out.

We left our house in Tennesee at 7am on July 18th and didn't rest til 1am when we made it to Colby, KS (Mapquest: 14 Hr. 38 Min. 936.66 Miles). We did have a quick pit stop in St. Charles, Mo. to grab lunch with Brian and Terry Schreiber. After a 6-hour-nights sleep, we were at it again. This time stopping at our buddies  John and Jessica Mortons' place in Carbondale, Co. We made it by 8pm (Mapquest: 6 Hr. 21 Min. 401.11 Miles). After a great dinner, a false pregnancy scare from the stress of the haul, and 7 1/2-hour-nights sleep, we met John for breakfast and were on our way to Jackson. We arrived around 8pm on July 20th (Mapquest: 8 Hr. 41 Min. 477.55 miles).

Keep in mind that we only traveled at a average speed of 60 mph. Because my car (Volvo XC90) was towing Wes' car (Landrover Defender90).

Our New Home for the next 18 months:









Then the hall way takes you to the guest bath on the right, my sewing/craft room on the left, and straight forward to the guest bed where all the people who love me will stay when they visit. (Pressure & guilt trip intentionally intended!)





Then in the far corner of the house is our Master Bedroom and Master Bathroom. Our home very much reminds me of our home in Nashville before we did any renovations on it. (Funny how we get our house to be perfect for us, then we move across the country.)


The backyard, like our Nashville home, is amazing. It's nice to finally have a fenced in yard for the pups to play in and you definitely can't beat the view of Snow King Mountain. We're ready for bon fires and grilling for sure. We just need to make sure to get it in before winter hits.
















We have a view of the Tetons from our front yard and and view of Snow King from the back. Everything we need in town is within walking distance or a short bike ride. This town is amazing. The only downfall is that Wes is here to work and not play with me. That's where you come in. Start planning your visits now because there's lots to do; it's just not so much fun to do alone.


So what are you waiting for? You've got free room and board waiting for you here with us. No more excuses- Pay us a visit since as I'm sure you know by now...


If it's gonna happen sometime...
     Then why not now?
