Visit to the Rocky Mountains

We just returned from vacation! We had a wonderful two weeks visiting family & friends. We attended the wedding of a friend from college. It was a beautiful ceremony & reception. It was nice to visit with friends that we haven´t seen since last year.

While visiting my parents, in Waterford, WI, we were able to spend time with my brother, Jon, & his wife, Marissa. They recently moved to the area and so we had more time with them then we ever have. We loved having them close by to come and join us for games or disk golf in the evenings. It was a pleasure for us to see them. It was nice to be able to see my older brother, Jeremy, once during our visit as well.

The highlight of our trip was our visit to the Rocky Mts and Glacier National Park. Once again, we traveled by train, but this time was much different. My parents were with us and we spent most of the 24 hr trip playing games, reading, eating, or sleeping. It went by quickly. We were met by my grandmother, who lives in Montana, and spent a week at her farm. During that visit, we took a 2-day trip to the mountains and stayed overnight at my grandma´s cabin in Hungry Horse, MT, on the western side of Glacier National Park. We drove through the park on the Going to the Sun Hwy, stopping frequently to view the sites, go for a walk, or take pictures. Even though it was rainy and cold for part of the trip, the view was incredible. It had been many years since I had been up there and the first time for Daniel.

During our visit with my grandmother, we also spent some time with my Uncle Mark. One of his hobbies is making pens and we enjoyed spending time in his shop, making our own. Thanks Uncle Mark for taking the time to show us!
