Greetings to one and all. We managed to leave on time with joy and anticipation which lasted as long as it took us to join the morning traffic commute. We decided on taking the scenic route to the freeway since our options were limited. Little did we know that half of the city also likes the scenic route. After what seemed like an eternity (patience is not one of my virtues), we had the on ramp of the freeway in sight. Whoops, woman of the house realizes she left essential items (makeup bag) at home, makes quick lane changes to enter on ramp headed back to home port. After arriving at home port, woman of house enters and realizes she had packed the essential items after all. Woman of house then grabs two bottles of water as a peace offering or to throw on the fire if said man of the house chooses to react. Smiling sheepishly woman of the house enters car and man of the house is gracious and laughs with her. We then decide not to take the scenic route to the freeway again and proceed to use a little common sense.
After driving for a whole hour, we had worked up an appetite so we stopped for second breakfast at Denny's and had a great Grand Slam breakfast. We then hit the highway and what a beautiful day it was. The drive to Great Falls is really very scenic and a lot of wide open country. Beautiful snow covered mountains framed the rolling ranch land beautifully with cows grazing peacefully. (Ok a little corny, but it was really pretty).
We arrived and excitedly rushed to get checked in so we could go see the Charles Russell museum. But, par for the day, we realized when we arrived at the museum that we had 30 minutes to do a two hour tour. Whoops! We forgot the time change. So we opted to visit the gift shop, have dinner and do a walk about in Great Falls. I am adding one of the most interesting pictures of the day:) That is assuming I can figured out how to download it properly. If not, I will keep working on it as I don't want you to miss anything exciting:) (Note: Could the day get any better:0 Actually I really am still smiling. The attempt to download the picture failed. The file is too big so it will take some editing to get it into a format that can be downloaded. I will try again tomorrow night)
Well we anticipate a great start tomorrow and will be first in line at the museum so we can get the 2 hour tour maybe done in 1 1/2 hours instead and then on the road to more adventures. We are really enjoying the trip despite a set back or two, but then that is what vacation is about. See you tomorrow!

Glad you made it to your first destination safely, even if it did require a boomerang trip to the house for items you had with you the whole time. Oh well. Better to drive all the way home and find out you have it, than to be without makeup in Great Falls.
I hope you figure out how to post pictures. I'm really looking forward to seeing your adventures as well as reading about them.
Stay safe!
