Yellowstone Adventure 2009

We left today to have our next family vacation adventure. We left Spokane with a stop at Krispy Kreme to fuel up. The drive was pretty uneventful. There was quite a bit of construction as we got into Montana but it wasn't too bad. We stopped outside Missoula for lunch at Fuddruckers. You may remember that we used to have one of those in Spokane. They have 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, and 1 lb patties. The 1 lb ones were the size of small dinner plates. They cook up the burgers on homemade buns and you put your own fixings on it. Although the kids weren't quite sure about it to begin with, they soon discovered a new restaurant that they will now eat at. Jill had the Buffalo burger and it was really good.

On the way, we saw signs advertising the Testicle Festival in Clinton MT. It gave us quite a chuckle for a while..... wondering what it cost to get in?......... is it for men only?........ is admission one per carload?.........and if so, how many friends you'd need if you wanted to make it an annual event..... All this was fun until I decided to check out the website this evening. It seems to be more than just a dining experience...... Maybe not a family event....

We got into West Yellowstone and had dinner at a pizza place. It was very good for 3 out of the 4 of us. One of the picky eaters didn't like pizza.....oh well. We walked around a little bit and then got back so the kids could check out the pool. No vacation is complete without the mandatory pool experience.

We're heading off to Yellowstone tomorrow and will post a new message tomorrow.
