Grace’s 12th Birthday Trip Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park at Golden Valley:  September 1-5, 2023 Site #615 We headed up to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains to celebrate Grace’s 12th birthday and Labor Day weekend at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Resort.  We stayed at the site next to where we stayed over Memorial Day for Kaety’s birthday, right next to a creek.  Totally the most private and best site in the place as far as we are concerned! We pulled in the first day and were careful about our backing up (no more truck breakage thankfully!) and got settled relatively quickly.  Because they were so busy for the weekend, they had delivered our golf cart to our site so it was waiting upon our arrival, which was really nice!   As we were setting up, one of the park staff came by with a big bunch of balloons for Gracie, which was really cool.  I think it totally surprised her!  We definitely were looking forward to a warmer, less wet visit than what we experie...

The kerfuffle wasn’t the dog sitting issue.  The kerfuff...
