Vacation Time 2.0

 We left off on the last post with us arriving in Bozeman MT...
and now part 2...

Our friend, Kenning, dinner in Bozeman

The movie,  A River Runs Through It, was filmed in Bozeman, he has very small feet.

We strolled through downtown Bozeman, and I was enjoying the day and company and only took one photo.

Cool Bike Rack..I'm enamored with bike racks in cities across the country.

We spent most of our visit doing what friends do, catching up and talking about all of the world's problems...and the one that needed to be solved...was dinner Sunday night. Kenning and Deborah knew precisely where to take us, Livingston MT. I knew as soon as we pulled into the old town section that I was gonna love it...check out the marquee signs...some with flashing lights and others surrounded with neon. 

So retro

Walking around the block, we found this mural and cool fish...

Fly fishing is pretty big in this small town

So welcoming

So much more to see in Livingston...pretty sure the next time we go to visit our friends I'll ask to take a drive back over to see more of this cute little town.

We planned to leave Bozeman and head to Glacier Park for two nights, but the fires around Glacier had us thinking that the views wouldn't be what we expected. So on the fly, we decided to head to Bend Oregon, why??? because we'd never been there and it was kind of on the way to Seattle.

We Bozeman and stayed in Boise Idaho, and WOW...we were blown out of the water. Who knew this city was so flipping amazing. The dining opportunities had us wishing we hadn't made reservations in Bend for the following night. 

The State Capital ~ this picture is not altered, the sun was shining perfectly on its dome.

Flowers ~ this city knew how to welcome visitors with lots and lots of flowers.

We had dinner at Bardenay...I had the sweet potato, and black bean chimichanga that was amazing and the coleslaw had blue cheese and BACON, just wish I could have eaten more but was so full...and I was starving so no picture of dinner. We stayed right in downtown, it was convenient but at 6am the traffic started up, and it was a little too loud to let me sleep in. 

We got up, showered, dressed and packed the car before heading to Waffle Me Up for breakfast.

BOBacado Deluxe

I had this savory waffle and Andrew had the peanut butter & jelly ... If you've ever been to Waffle Love in Salt Lake City, then you should know these are pretty close, and we found out they use the Belgian Pearl Sugar (Nibs) which is the same thing Waffle Love uses. 

We loaded up the car and headed to Bend Oregon ... but that is for the next post...

Until Next Time

Be Kind
