Montana and Wyoming...

Today started early… too early – 4:16am to be exact. Unfortunately our hotel room last night sided onto a lit walk way which illuminated our room so much so that Ben was up several times in the night. At 4:30am we thought it was futile to try and sleep longer so we got a head start to our destination for the night – Greeley Colorado. It’s a good thing we got such an early start as stopping for breakfast in Helena took much longer than anticipated.
The scenery throughout southeastern Montana is very beautiful. Lots of large rolling hills that were masked slightly by a beautiful haze today. After many, many, many hours of driving we finally crossed into Wyoming around 1pm or so stopping in Sheridan to have lunch at a BK so Ben could collect their Pokemon toys. It’s a much different terrain – very similar to Drumheller with the badlands and in some spots I would’ve swore we were in Saskatchewan! Both Jason and I have been trading off driving duties while the kids have been completely engrossed with their movies which means Jason and I have been able to listen to all the NPR, CBC and CNN we want with no worries about the kids hearing something they shouldn’t.

We finally reached our hotel in Greeley – nice little town. Kids are happy, cats are happy so it’s all good!
