Montana Vacation

I cannot say enough about how cool Montana was.
In Yellowstone the geysers were interesting as walking thru them the steam was warm and yet it was super cold outside.
Chico Spa and Resort in Pray, Montana and our little cabin was right by the horse stable and Morgan was so excited to pet the horses and didn't mind the horse poop smell.
I loved it because the restaurant had all my favorites: Lamb rack, crème brule, great wine and the little café/gift shop had mocha espresso!
I guess I should mention on our way to Mark's brother's ranch we stopped in Virginia City and went horse back riding. Well for me in was more Panic Attack Riding. I refused to go up  the side of a hill and told our guide to take us a different way. I was seeing myself dropping out of the saddle. I felt like I was up so high on the horses back and if I fell it would be a long way down. Of course after the ride everyone was making fun of me and Morgan was calling it the PAR ride. At 10 she still has the notion that everything is funny. Looking back maybe it was a little funny, sort of.
Greg's ranch Western Star Ranch was great (top picture) and houses 6 horses that Morgan can't stop talking about. Ruby, Sadie, Dexter, Anita, Chanel, Carter. She was the first one up most days and grabbed my camera to take pictures. Greg bought Morgan some boots (you can see her in her boots in the above picture standing next to Ruby) and Montana doesn't have sales tax so when something has a price that's the price, no math necessary to add the tax. We saw a Golden Eagle standing in the middle of the high way, a Yellow-bellied Marmot under a porch, a Bison and Elks in Yellowstone, Pronghorn's along street where Greg lives. Montana is a place where you better have a full tank of gas as you can drive miles and miles and miles with out seeing a gas station or another car. We all had a relaxing time, enjoyed the wild life and big beautiful fluffy clouds. Happy June :)
