Montana Skies!

I finally did it! I took a vacation. Last monday I packed up my car and Bella and I drove up to Bozeman, Montana to visit my cousin, Travis who until this last week, I haven't seen in about five years at least. This is the drive up.


Bella napped most of the time

This sight was amazing! I had been driving through boring Idaho farms when all of a sudden, this came out of nowhere. Lots of snow and trees!





The last two hours of my drive looked like this. Bit scary, but we made to our destination with no major incidents.




This is the view from a walk Bella and I went on. There is a park by the library with a trail. I started on it, and it took me about three hours to get back! Bozeman is full of trail systems going to cool look outs or along streams or around ponds or lakes.




Bella enjoyed the long walks.




Travis and I went cross-country skiing. It was my first time! I fell down A LOT but Travis said I did really well for my first time




Unfortunately, these pictures were taken after we got back. I left my camera in the car when we went. Travis got some videos on his phone, but his phone won't send video so I don't have them.








I also did yoga with Julia and went swimming at the Hot Springs once with Travis and his daughter, Rose, and once with Julia. This is at the Hot Springs. The picture didn't turn out amazing because it was so steamy in there.



I also went shopping, watched movies and basically just enjoyed myself. I needed it so bad!

and . . . The drive home. I was super worried because there was a snow storm that last all day the day before I left, but the drive home was nothing but sunshine and blue skies!















I think now, I am ready to go back to life and feel good about it until the next vacation ;)
