So, one of the great things about my cousin getting married in Montana was that I could visit some new National Parks. ..which I have now accomplished. Most importantly I have managed to do this with my very best National Parks friend, Andi. I will also give credit here to Ann (Vorick) Juba for the introduction to Dane Alexanders National Parks and Monuments class...where the connection began.
Anyway, since Andi and I met rafting the Canyon in 2003...we have traveled to many national parks. And now Glacier. So, an ode to Andi, the seven reasons she is awesome and why I will miss her:
1) She doesn't wear makeup while camping
2) She really listens to Anya tell stories and asks relevant questions even when the tale is bogus..
3) She drinks beer
4) She doesn't know the right way or the wrong way, only the adventurous way
5) She still brings Rocky, our bear mascot, on vacations...the one we bought more than ten years ago on our trip to Death Valley, Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon. And trusts my girls alone with him too.
6) She knows my bathroom habits to the point where she lets me go first :)
7) She plays great games with me, from silly alphabet games to serious Euchre games and everything in between.
I will miss you, Andi (and Andy!!) What a great way to close out our vacation.
