Back from Montana





I'm still having a hard time believing we could sneak in a weekend trip to Montana. Turns out, it's only a 13 hour drive to Red Lodge from St Paul. The girls did great. Sometimes their ability to travel and adaptability to new situations stuns me.
We drove all night Thursday. Pulled into the condo's garage around 5 am. Slept for a few hours, ate breakfast, went skiing, came back and enjoyed the creekside hot tub. Same thing the next day.
The skiing was unbelieveable...especially considering that it's so early in the season. Empty trails. Good coverage. The four of us skied down a long run all by ourselves...with no one in sight. Unbelieveable. This place is tops on our list.
Yesterday morning, as we're packing up, Lolo tries to talk me & Jim into buying the ski condo in Red Lodge. Some kids ask for toys or candy. Our kids ask for ski condos. I'm sensing a problem down the road.
