It was a busy Halloween night in downtown Missoula, but that didn’t stop us from parking our house right in the thick of it for a little Thai food with friends. We met Mike and Kate at and enjoyed some delicious eats.
We spent the next couple of days winding down from our whirlwind 2 weeks transitioning out of Bozeman. It was so nice to just breathe the crisp Montana air and be with people we love…while enjoying the amazing scenery. We had long leisurely meals and conversation with Mike and Kate...they had recently moved from Bozeman up to Missoula and we missed their going away bash, so we were so glad to spend time with them.
My cousin, Michelle, and her kids (Silas and Lucia) came down to hang out for the day. It was such fun to see the kids interacting and mostly not killing each other. We don’t see each other often and it was even more special this time because our Lucia’s are so close in age (Michelle’s Lucia is pronounced Loo-sha). Michelle is a massage therapist and doula and we had fun talking about all of our shared interests.
After a beautiful stay, we said goodbye and headed towards Walla Walla, with a stop in Sandpoint, Idaho. The year before, we had promised Matt’s cousin, Jessica, that we would make our way up to her little touristy town of Sandpoint the year before. But it didn’t work out. So we knew we had to go this time!
It was only an hour north of the interstate on our way to Washington. We pulled into a campground for the night and enjoyed dinner and conversation with Jess. The next morning, we left for Walla Walla, WA!
