Montana Road Trip

Ryan and I just got back from a trip to Montana for my little brother's wedding. I will post pictures from the nuptials asap. In the meantime, here are some photos from our road trip and an afternoon float on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. We learned a few things from our trip: (1) Soma likes the car about as much as Ryan likes the Jonas brothers; (2) Soma likes rafting about as much as he likes the car; and (3) I've reached an age where wearing heels is about as fun as using a cheese grater as an exfoliant.


Soma losing his marbles after only a few hours in the car.
The drive from Seattle to Kalispell is about 9 hours including stops for the dog.


This is how Soma rolls.


The amazing color of a glacial-fed stream.


A beautiful view of the river.


More scenic beauty.
The Middle Fork of the Flathead meanders along the southern border of Glacier National Park.


Looking upstream toward Glacier Park.


Do you feel more relaxed just looking at this river?


As I said earlier, Soma didn't like the raft. He jumped out a couple of times. In this shot, I'm sure he's thinking about jumping again.


Soma may look relaxed but don't be fooled. He's ready to blow this popsicle stand.
