Trip to Montana June 2007

Drew and I just returned from an amazing week in Missoula, Montana where good friends of ours from Louisville now live. Last time we visited, it was March 2002 and it was covered with snow. It was great to experience the summer this time although we would have loved to snowboard again.
Mike and Jenny have 2 sons now, Abe (2) and Eli (4). It was great to meet the new family. Our friend Pat and his girlfriend Katie recently moved from Louisville and are now enjoying the lovely west too.
Coming from Florida, the weather was incredible. I think we saw a low of 40 and a high of 95, depending on where we were. We camped at Glacier National Park and Riverbend which was 1 hour outside Missoula. Our "crowd" included 7 adults, 2 children and 4 dogs. The drive to Glacier was beautiful and we camped at the base of Avalanche trail leading up to Avalanche Lake.
Missoula is the coolest, small, laid back town with that sense of community we thought we'd never find again after living in Key West.
We had a wonderful time away from Florida and it was extra special that we were surrounded by friends. It was extremely hard to return...Until next year Montana!
