Billings or Bust!

I love road trips! There's something very exciting about getting up early in the morning, packing the car, and hitting the road. It's an adventure, a quest. It's fun.




We took a road trip this weekend. I had Friday off anyway, and Jake had Monday off anyway, so I got a sub for Monday and Jake took a personal day of Friday and we headed to Billings, Montana to visit Nate, Sara, and Zsolt. We left around 7:00 on Friday morning (Jake wanted to leave by 4:00 but luckily that didn't happen, I do have limits to my fun). We took the freeway up past Idaho Falls and then in Dillon, Mt we took a highway for a while to trip some miles off the trip. We stopped and ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in a small town off the freeway. It was cold and windy but we got out to stretch our legs and sat together at a picnic table to eat. Cozy.



Isn't it beautiful?




This took us a few shots to perfect.
It was wonderful to see everybody. We had a wonderful time. We cuddled Zsolt, watched movies, cuddled Zsolt, read books, let Sara take a billion pictures of us, cuddled Zsolt some more, played video games, went to Hobby Lobby (that store is so amazing it could be a blog on its own), cuddled Zsolt, ate lots of good food, played with the dogs, and then cuddled Zsolt. Did I mention Zsolt? He may have been the center of attention just a little bit. He was really good about being handed around the room like a hot potato except that we weren't trying to get rid of him, we were trying to see how long we could hold him before someone would steal him from us.




Fun times!




Hi sleepy!

It was fun to be so close to Nate and Sara. I would move to Billings in a heart beat if we could see them more often. But as much fun as it was to see them, it was exciting to jump back in the car and speed off into the sunset. :-) Haha. Seriously we ended up driving into the sunet though. It was blinding. Tuff enough!
