Quite a day of travel and sightseeing. Got up early and built a fire so I could watch the sunrise at our campsite. Got to spend a bit of time reading before we took off to drive through Yellowstone. We did a huge loop and hit many different sites in the park with the exception…

Got up early to take Javi for a walk before we hit the road for our drive to West Yellowstone. We went to a neighborhood close by and found an adorable little free little library.  En route we stopped at a very intact ghost town called Garnet. Very cool place to wander around, we checked…

Lazy morning after a very busy day yesterday. We went for a walk by the river, Javi got to play in the river with a couple of other dogs we met on our walk, then we had a look around town and stopped for lunch. I saw some fun signs and cool sculptures as we…

Today was my idea of Heaven- hiking in a beautiful place. In fact I did 3 hikes in different parts of Glacier National park today! In order to get a parking spot at Logan’s Pass I was out the door at 5:15, which also meant I got to enjoy seeing the sunrise as I made…

I can’t begin to describe how beautiful it was driving the Going to the Sun Road. Since I can’t describe it I’ll just show you the photos: Tomorrow I get to hike some trails in GNP-can’t Wait!

Woke up early and ready to get out. Drove to a different part of Whitefish using a back road where I saw fields with morning mist on them, and the sunrise from a few different parts of town. Also saw a sign advertising an ax throwing place next door to a cannabis store – is…

Had a wander around Whitefish this morning, what an adorable town! Love the river running through it, and the houses that remind me of Spokane. GREAT coffee here – especially like Montana Coffee Traders -had a delicious Mexican mocha. We tried to get a permit to drive in the Going to the Sun road tomorrow…

I woke up in the middle of the night to lightning flashes and walked over to a more open part of the campground for a better view-we don’t get many lightning storms at home so it was totally worth the lost sleep to see the sky light up.  I heard rumblings of thunder on my morning…

Lulled to sleep last night by the amazingly loud sounds of various forest bugs. I woke up early to see dawn breaking at the lake so rushed out and jogged the 1/2 mile to the shore. Gorgeous!!! I couldn’t stop taking pictures. Later we headed out to the store for supplies and met someone who…

Today was mainly a driving day, we headed to Spokane to visit our Aunt Ruthie. First stop was for coffee at Brewed Awakenings (excellent coffee!), then listening to Women Rocker songs and finishing up listening to Verity, the audiobook we started on Sunday. I liked that the ending wasn’t what either of us expected. We…
