The first thing we did on our first day in Yellowstone was leave Yellowstone. Grand Teton National Park is just south of the park and because we were staying in the extreme south of Yellowstone, it seemed a little silly not to go see it. It seemed to be just a hop, skip and a jump away. We did not anticipate the delay of construction. What should have been a 45 minute drive ended up being an hour and a half. The Tetons were certainly reward enough to warrant the drive but we hadn't anticipated spending over 3 hours in the car on a "non-driving" day. 
After our excursion to the Tetons, we hit up the Upper Geyser Basin and saw what everyone has been waiting for........OLD FAITHFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks a lot like it does on TV. The main difference is that you can't smell it.......until they invent smellovision.
We were pretty exhausted after all this and went back to the camp site, ate some sausage and cheese and went to bed around 9 pm.
