{ To Glacier We will Go :: Part 1 }

 Finally, I am beginning the re-cap of our family vacation this summer to Glacier National Park!  We traveled there in July and spent a total of 6 nights and 7 days away from home.  We drove over 1,200 miles and stayed somewhere different every night.  Those of you who have traveled with kids know, that is no small deal.  It was an incredibly wonderful time and an incredibly difficult time!  All in all we are so glad we took this trip and got away from everyday life for a bit.  What a blessing it was to soak up the incredible beauty that God has created! 

Monday: Day One

We traveled to my uncle and aunt's house in Montana, just south of Flathead Lake.  It was a manageable first leg of our journey.  On the way, we stopped at Cataldo Mission in Cataldo, Idaho.  I grew up visiting that area since my mom had grown up in Wallace, Idaho.  It was a fun trip down memory lane.  We had lunch at the mission before finishing that day's drive. 

My uncle and aunt purchased their property about a year ago.  Some pretty amazing property it is too!  Not a bad view, don't you think?  We took a walk after dinner to enjoy the view of the mountains.

 

 That is their house in the distance.  I could get used to waking up to that view each morning!

 More to come.... soon!
