Monday was a good day of driving from Chico to Missoula. We took one last dip in the hot springs, said our last goodbyes to Adam and Les and made a quick visit to Bozeman. After a delicious meal at NoVa (came recommended but also sounds like home) and some shopping we were on the road again.
We arrived in Bonner/Potomac around 430. Just in time for the kids to play with their new friends and eat some amazing Elk steaks courtesy of Scott and his hunting skills. The girls were pretty wound up and failed to fall asleep until close to 10pm. I am pretending not to note that would be a midnight bedtime on the east coast. I blame the sun for never setting in Montana.
Tuesday we headed for Glacier National Park! I started to feel a bit sad on my drive Monday...leaving family behind and thinking our vacation was nearly over...but Tuesday brought a new excitement especially because we were meeting up with Andy and Andi! Anya was also stoked to learn she would have her own bed and bedroom with Elia in the same place fir four whole nights.
We even got to stop at a local butcher for rib eye steaks and buffalo jerky. Yummm. We had a great afternoon complete with a short hike, our picture at the park entrance, and stamps in our passport books.
As I write this the girls are "resting" after a nice four mile hike to Avalanche Lake. Anya walked back almost the whole way too!! The grandparents arrive soon and that means tomorrow Raj and I get to go on an adult hike :)
I am very glad we are on this vacation. Not thinking about our renters who just moved in, the builder we have to hire, and the bills we will be paying from all our hotel stays!!
I attempted to upload photos to this blog and failed. ..more to come!
