這是我們第二次去黃石公園，十多年前帶著兒子去過，那個時候還沒有女兒，現在隻好替她來補課了。臨去之前，我們考慮過自駕遊，但是黃石公園實在太遠了，最後還是決定跟著旅遊團走。

巴士在多個地點接客人，轉車，換導遊，然後一路狂奔，向著猶他州的鹽湖城開去。路上停了幾個地點放鬆，好熱的沙漠，不過小孩子覺得挺新鮮，按著杠杆打地下水，玩得不亦樂乎，女兒還與小朋友們爭著打水服務哪！

路上經過了California Trail，想想昔日到西部探險的人們，可沒有象今天坐著大巴士這麽舒服。到了旅館已經十點了，匆忙地吃了自助晚餐，匆忙地寫了旅行日記，然後就倒在床上入夢了。

兒子的記敘

Today was the first day of our Yellowstone vacation. The tour we went on is a bus tour, going all the way from a supermarket near our house until Yellowstone. As expected, the first day of the bus trip was mostly driving. At the moment we are living in a hotel about 15 minutes from the Nevada-Utah border, so we covered quite of miles on the first day. While we didn’t really sightsee anything, we did pass through some important landmarks, including the California-Nevada border, the 40 mile desert, as well as a portion of the California Trail. While staying on a bus for 660 miles might seem to be a type of torture, the ride was not as bad as I had first expected because of interesting anecdotes from our tour guide about previous tours, everyone on the bus introducing ourselves, and watching the movie, Cars.

Go to Joy Holiday Tours! Our tour guides are friendly, social, and best of all, knowledgeable about how to make a boring trip fun. The first day, you will pass through some very historical areas, such as the California trail, and the 40-mile desert. We make bathroom stops every 2-3 hours, so your bladder won’t explode.

What is the best part of day one? A satisfied customer answers, “I think that the best part of the ride is that the tour guide lets everyone talk about themselves. The second best thing is the pump where you move the handle up and down to get water.”
