Jackson - Cheyenne - Denver

we drove out of Yellowstone and got into Jackson around 9 pm. we were hungry and many restaurants were closed but we found this little pizza place/bar called Pinky G's Pizzeria. it was a cool little place with yummy pizza. 

 we walked around a little after. I wish we could have seen the city during the day cause it looks like a pretty great place.

 they had these cool antler arches on each corner in the park.

 we got to our hotel that night around 1 am. there were a couple of drunk cowboys in the lobby that started chatting with us while we were checking it. they saw Jason's Yellowstone shirt so we asking what we did there and giving us advice for next time. they heard what room we were in and one guy was like - hey that's right next to us! do you want to open the door in between and party? - we were like .. uhh, no thanks. we were so tired and were wishing they would leave us alone but it was also pretty funny. 

the next day we continued driving through Wyoming. 

 we stopped in Cheyenne for a short break and walked around historic downtown. I am glad we stopped there cause it was a charming little city.

 

they had these cool giant boots all over the city. 

 

we continued driving into Colorado and made our way to Denver. 

we parked downtown and went to the 16th St. Mall which is a big outdoor mall. we found somewhere to eat and then explored a little. 

 they had these colorfully painted pianos all over for people to play which I thought was pretty cool.

 there was a beautiful sunset and a full moon which was perfect for our last night. we walked by the capital building.

 I'm not sure why Jason is so happy here :)

we got a hotel in Denver that night and that was the extent of our time there. I had planned on doing more there but honestly we were just tired. we were so completely exhausted at that point in the trip from being on the road so long, and from having each day packed full of stuff to see. we had already been to all our major destinations and only had a couple of smaller stops left. we were sad that our trip was nearing the end but also ready to get home and rest.
