Montana Day 2

Yesterday we spent the entire day enjoying Missoula. We started with a visit the the University of Montana where we graduated from in 2002. It was wonderful for the girls to run down the tree lined paths of the beautiful campus. We were impressed with the new construction and improvements.

While Stephanie meet a friend for lunch, I took the girls swimming in the hotel pool.  They really love the water and we are looking forward to beginning swim lessons this summer.

Later that afternoon we walked down to Caras park and went on the famous carousal. It went really fast and Elise and Charlotte had Big Sky smiles the entire ride.

We had been looking forward to eating at McKenzie River Pizza. In fact, many of our Missoula's destinations were for food memories. On the way to pizza we walked past Montgomery Distillery... More on that later. Pizza was great, then we hit Big Dipper for ice cream. I would've gladly driven 500 miles just for Big Dipper.

After the girls went to bed, I went back to Montgomery Distillery. They create vodka and gin from local grain. The still is German made, and they really seem to have a passion for what they do. And they do it well, it is some of the best I've ever had, and I'm bringing some home.

We had a full and complete day in Missoula and were able to check almost everything off our list.
