Jackson, Wyoming



This year for Labor Day Weekend, I was lucky enough to be invited to the home of Eric Harslem, Rani Clasquin and Kate Harslem in Jackson Wyoming. Valerie Hanft came along too, and we had a super time. What great hosts! Here are some of the highlights of that trip.

The weather in Jackson was absolutely perfect. That meant I had a great view of the Teton mountains from my room when I woke up every morning.


Saturday, we had a golf game for which I did not report my score. Valerie, Kate and Eric were great sports, and it was a perfect day to be outside. After golf, we ventured into downtown Jackson for lunch and sightseeing.



Sunday, Eric and Rani took us on a hike to Jackson Peak. I almost made it but the altitude got the better of me about 15 minutes from the top. Despite a little bit of sprinkling rain as we got near the summit, it was a perfect day.

In the evenings, we got to enjoy the beautiful view from the patio, along with some great food and wine. The last day, Labor Day, Valerie and I were going for a walk when we got some unexpected but very cute visitors.


There was a definite chill in the air and we were told that ski season is coming soon. Last but not least, we decided that getting there is half the fun.


Next up for me: a road trip through Vermont and New Hampshire. More on that next week.
