Our vacation to Missoula

Martha and I decided to take the kids on a trip to Missoula. Actually the kids had a week off school and I had a midwifery conference I needed to go to. So I used points and got a nice motel with an indoor swimming pool. With a little bit of convincing, Martha agreed to make the trip with us.

Gina's wedding trip

All of us girls went to Spokane to shop for the wedding. Gina is planning her wedding in Aug. We decided on a girls outing and planned ahead. We found a motel that was more like an apartment. 2 bedrooms, living room and kitchen. It was great! So fun to be together.





We spent hours watching Gina try on dresses. They were all so pretty.
