Our first day of vacation was spent in 4 different airports.

We actually went in to 3 of them and the other we just parked and waited for others to board and deplane.

We departed Indy a little late because there were quite a few older peeps in wheelchairs.

I found out on the first leg of our journey that people over 70 are very squirmy

More so in fact than my 9 year old.

I also discovered that these folks like to travel very early in the morning because over 50% of the first flight were elderly people.

Then we landed in Las Vegas.

Vegas is very hot and dry.

So dry in fact that my hair static clinged to my face.

The temperature hovered near 105 degrees. UGH!

We flew over many many mountains and lots of desert.

I haven’t ever seen a place that didn’t have lots of greenery so it was a new experience for me.

In Vegas Cade saw slot machines for the first time and thought they were very cool video games.  He wanted to play.  I told him it was illegal.

We landed in Boise briefly then flew on to Spokane, Washington.

Angie and Mason picked us up at the airport there.

We had a lovely dinner at Bonzai Bistro, just as Angie and I had done the month before.

Day number 2 we traveled.

And it rained.

So we set up camp after dark when the rain stopped at a campground at West Glacier, Montana.

We took a trip across The Road To The Sun and this is some of the scenery.

If you look closely you should be able to see some mountain goat butts.

We traveled close to the top of the mountain and found some glaciers.

More scenery.

And finally some wildlife.  These guys weren’t even scared of us.
