Kalispell, Montana

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving this weekend! We had a wonderful, wonderful time in Montana. It's so beautiful down there, I can't wait to plan another trip, but in the summer next time. The drive, although 5 hours, went really quickly and that Crowsnest highway is just beautiful. We got in fairly late on Friday night, but that gave us all day Saturday and Sunday to explore and do some shopping. And shop we did. Christien and I never do well shopping together, but man, we had a blast. The dollar was so great and the prices were so cheap. Christien scored 60 beers for $40. Can't beat that unless you are in Bali.

The weather left something to be desired. Although it was at least 0 every day, it got really, really cold at night. It was just a biting, bitter cold. When we got back to Calgary and it was cloudy and snowy, it was still warmer then it was down there in the sunshine. Hence another trip is in order when the weather gets warmer.

We had Thanksgiving dinner last night with the Dunhams and their neighbour, Rambo. BD deep fried a turkey and it was magnificent!! Was very nice to spend Thanksgiving with friends. 10:30 hit before we knew it and we were rushing to get home, to try to get a good night's sleep before it was back to work today. I could have used just one more day off.

We're now faced with cold, snowy weather. Supposed to snow until Thursday and then get up to +16. Man, this Calgary weather. I just wish it would make up it's mind.
