Road Trip - Day 1

From: Lewiston, ID
To: Gardiner, MT

Time: 9 hours
Distance: 590 miles


Here are some photos - one last shot of Idaho and our rental car! Lana and I in Bozeman, MT, and our cottage in Gardiner, MT, right outside of Yellowstone.

Chamomile slept the whole way and tried to hide whenever she was awake. Once we got to the cottage she instinctively hid under the bed - we thought we'd just let her stay there until she wanted to come out. Then at 11:30 p.m., right when we were falling asleep, we heard noises coming from the mattress, and spring vibrations. Turns out Chamomile had climbed into the boxspring mattress! We had to flip over the top mattress, locate Chamomile and attempt to get her out as she meowed plaintively for help. The rescue attempt was successful, but we proceeded to blockade the under-the-bed area in case she decided to be an adrenaline junkie and take us for another ride.

The highlight of the car ride today was meeting up with Lana and the rest of the Schuerman clan - it'd been 2+ years since we'd seen them!

We stayed in Gardiner for most of our honeymoon. It's a cute little town. :) Did you have fun in good ol' Yellowstone?! We miss you guys...
