Montana - Phase 2

Wednesday night Lara, Kelsey, Renee and I got home from our road trip to Montana! Our trip started at about 6 in the morning on Sunday and we drove the 9ish hour trip through Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana and ended up in Missoula around 5:00pm. Even though it took ALL day, it wasn’t that bad at all. With a few coloring books, crossword puzzles, and lots of music, the trip went by very quick.

Monday we helped Alisa pack up her apartment for her move back to Oregon. Then, later that night, we decided to walk down to the bowling ally a block or so from her apartment. Let me just say… I killed everybody! Lara was my only competition :o)

Tuesday was Kelsey’s birthday, so we went to Big Sky brewery, then out to a very nice dinner, then out for a few more drinks. I think she had a good birthday.

The drive home Wednesday was a little more stressful because Tuesday night it started snowing and by Wednesday the pass heading into Idaho was pretty bad. But after we got into Coeur d’Alene it was a much easier drive.
I had a great time. Now, hopefully my next vacation will be to somewhere warm!!

Montana - Phase 1

In February, Lara and I went to visit Alisa in Missoula, MT. We had such a good time that we are going back in a few weeks. Even though it was in the high 20's to low 30's there, it was so beautiful. Missoula is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the sky just lasts forever. 

Lara and I having a margarita to take the edge off of flying on Friday the 13th!

Saturday, Alisa took us to the University of Montana. The campus was so pretty, it reminded me of OSU
Go Grizzlies!


M for Montana, M for Mountain...


On Sunday we checked out more of Missoula. This is a river we walked by while walking around downtown
It's so cold that the sides of the river are frozen



I had to get a picture of this crazy person in the water... 



Because it was so cold, we went shopping and had fun trying on hats and sunglasses!





The day we left was gorgeous! Here are a few pictures of the mountains while we were getting ready to board our plane.
