Behold the Waffle Iron 
Our plan was to hit Grand Coulee Dam on Wednesday, but our late departure called for a schedule revision. We had non-refundable hotel reservations in West Yellowstone and motivated by our mutual cheapness, John and I decided to make the long haul eastward. We lost an hour to Mountain Time and several hours to rest stops and running last minute errands in Spokane, as it was the last major city for days. We collapsed into our hotel room around midnight; sure we’d lost our minds for driving that far.
The next day everyone’s disposition changed, however. For it was the first day of Carbon’s Golden Malted waffles. If you’ve not road-tripped in a while, you’re probably unaware that some sales genius hit every family style motel in the country with a killer dealer on a do-it-yourself commercial waffle maker. Now hotel proprietors can boast an expanded hot continental breakfast. Throw in some hard-boiled eggs and you’ve got yourself a full American breakfast. Samuel quickly became the resident waffle-making expert. Within days, he was teaching puzzled vacationers the secret to a perfect waffle.
Did I mention Yellowstone is absolutely beautiful? We toured geysers, mud pots and waterfalls. We saw bison, deer, bald eagles, a bear, even a baby moose and his mother. Enjoy the pictures below.
