Back to Civilization

Well, we turned in the RV today and rented a car for our 24 hours in Billings. We picnicked at Lake Elmo and then back to our hotel. The hot tub scalded all the nature off me and then we did what all do when rehabbing back to society, went to the mall. I celebrated cell service by gifting my iPhone with a shiny gold case. Long Island girl is back!!!

It has been the trip of a lifetime and we had a blast. But we are ready to get home snd see our pets. The kids are excited to start camp and I am ready to move full time into my new job. And in three weeks, we have our week at the shore! That is a vacation I am definitely looking forward to.

Bye y’all.

Little Big Horn

Enjoyed a stop at Little Big Horn and learned about the battle. This picture is from the hill of Custers last stand. They actually shot their own horses to hide behind. They were pretty easy targets for the Native Americans.

On the way to our campground for dinner and a swim. Showers there, hooray. Tomorrow it’s off to Devils Tower and the Black Hills.

The Griswalds are on the road

We picked up the RV this morning and it is 31 feet of awesomeness. Today is spent mostly stocking up on supplies and then driving to little Big Horn. Tim did hit one small critter on the road but that’s par for the course.

Montanans are so friendly, and they do call all animals critters. My favorite expression I heard today is “he was so tired his tongue was hanging down like a red necktie.”. More later when we hit the open road. Montana is definitely called the big sky state for a reason…beautiful!
