Not convinced I'll ever get over this incredible winter trip to @yellowstonenps. It was near the top of my bucket list for yearrrs, and absolutely did not disappoint. If anything, it OVER delivered....already planning to return in 2027 or 2028. Somehow everything is even *more* epic under snow. The utter lack of people probably contributes, too.

Look for the full trip recap with video in my stories (that will also be pinned to highlights), but here, 15 slides that sum up the adventure pretty well.

Not pictured: the WOLF we saw in the dark, that crossed right in front of our snow coach and stood staring at us in pitch darkness for close to two minutes.

@graduatehotels Evanston (North Shore Chicagoland, home of Northwestern University) absolutely nailed their Home Alone suite 🤌

They didn't miss a detail, down to the mismatched green towels and Buzz's girlfriend. And yes, guests do indeed get a real cheese pizza, delivered by Little Nero's 😉

Didn't catch this in time for the Christmas season? Great news: you can stay here year-round! 

Bonus: the actual Home Alone house is in nearby Winnetka, and it's currently being restored to its '90s glory!
