Birdseye Bed and Breakfast Helena

... the choice to move again for the rest of the semester, but I moved too many times, so I really don't want to continue. Except, my mom and my dad's, marriage is out of place now, so they may divorce... Meaning that my Dad may move to Kentucky and get the job he's always dreamed of and my Mom would move to Tennessee or New York ...

... a 4wd golf cart to get to the beach, one handed as they had drinks in the other. They were from Calgary money so I guess they were oil kids as Calgary is the oil gateway and headquarters for their biggest co's. <br><br>Once at the border, our first section was complete. 214 miles of mountainous terrain was behind us. The border crossing went smoothly, 6mths given due to our visas. We met up with the Americans there and had a pics taken before pushing on top ...

... meals. You sure don't see broasted chicken much elsewhere in this country but the midwest so it is surprising to see it on a menu here in Montana.<br><br>I had the BLT and it was excellent with baked baby Yukon Golds halved. Day had the soup of the day as she was not feeling up to having much food. The service was excellent as well as we got our order in after about 10 other people had put their order in and ours came out ahead of ...

We day tripped in the car to Great Falls today. Jane drove the entire day and the two of us are still on speaking terms! We visited the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. Even though it's about the third center we have been to, each one has taught us something new. Lewis and Clark were told by the Native Americans that they would know they were on the Missouri River if they saw the great falls. There is a dam there now, but the falls are ...

... into town for the 3:00 capitol tour, but decided we should try to make the 2:00. We made it just in time, and that was a good thing. Our first surprise of the day occurred when we found out the 2:00 was the last tour of the day. <br><br>The building was very interesting. It was almost the identical design as the capitol in Pierre, SD. This is not surprising as South Dakota bought the plans from ...

... 8220;Last Chance Gulch&#8221; was once a large mining claim but is now a row of shops and professional offices right in the heart of the city. We also went to Reeder&#8217;s Alley, the now-defunct fire lookout tower, and finally the hand-carved Great Northern Carousel. (***Please look for the video of this that I uploaded ...

... was Holly who was really keen so we got her into the water to learn. Fortunately we had brought the kids shortie wetsuits so we were well equipped for water skiing. Holly was very determined and nearly got up on her skis. However it was getting pretty dark and she got very tired so we put Zach and James on the "biscuit" and pulled them along behind the boat until we could hardly see them in the fading light and we gave up. They had a great time and we had a lot of ...

... ago, how romantic! Last night we were at Three Forks where the Jefferson, Madison and Gallatin rivers come together to form the Missourri headwater. We're in Helena, the capital of Montana, tonight. It's got style, but expensive. Tomorrow we will have to climb again up to 6,500ft and that will take us over the Continental Divide. Exciting eh! Love you all, bye.

... sweet shop section to sit at the wooden booths for lunch, chili seemed to be the choice so we both had chili. Betsy couldn't resist an ice cream sundae and on the way out I couldn't resist one of the huge toffee apples covered in nuts :) Back outside it was more historical buildings, the bullwhacker statue (remember the wagon trains before real trains?) then on to explore the capitol building. It's wonderful how you get ...

... the top of the pass - the rest of the way was on foot - straight up it seemed. OK, so we need the cardio vascular exercise but not three continuous sessions in one go! It's quite alarming when you find yourself panting after only a few minutes. Anyway, eventually we reached a vantage point and waited... Sorry but nothing exciting to report, we did see 4 birds but they were so high above us that we failed to recognize them or even have any ...
