So far, so good. Lily was pretty easy in the van. Very few grumpy moments from anyone. Our first stop was Bismarck for lunch in the park and a trip through the zoo. Lily's wingspan is equivalent to that of a peregrine falcon.
Then on to Teddy Roosevelt for our first view of some scenery. (You might be seeing this one on a Christmas card :-)
Some candy and videos later, we arrive in Miles City for the night.
They maybe should have charged us for an extra box of tissues -- Lily could not get enough of the built in Kleenex dispenser!Day Two
Not quite as grump-free today. Each member of the family had their moments!
A slight detour through Billings brought us to our first stop -- Pictograph Caves. Pretty cool sites but very hot weather.
A (long) while later we decided to try a 7 mile detour to see the Lewis and Clark Caverns. We descended a winding road to a clear river and a picturesque campground. Then curved our way back up 3 miles to a busy visitor center. "Let's see some caves!" Ah, but the caves can only be viewed by a guided 2 hour tour! Oh yeah, and no one under six is allowed. (Is this age discrimination?) Needless to say, we didn't see the caverns. We did get one picture from the top, though.
Finally (and I do mean FINALLY) we arrived in Missoula at our hotel. Ahh, only 2 hours left of Montana driving -- is this state huge or what!? We will be in Pullman by tomorrow evening!!!

Love the pictures and the updates on your trip! Hope you have a great time in Pullman and beyond.
I continue to enjoy your blog and your music mix. Three weeks until we go back to work. I'm dreading it but looking forward to seeing you. Lily is (as always) adorable. See you soon...Angie
