Beartooth Highway

In addition to having a great time at Will and Caitlyn's wedding, we also spent a day seeing the sights.  Looking back it was such a nice weekend.  My mom rode down to Billings with the girls and I on Friday morning.  We shopped in Billings until late afternoon stopping only for a quick lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.  After a day of shopping (and spending lots of money at my reliable stores--Coldwater Creek and Eddie Bauer) we headed to Redlodge.  We checked into our hotel and then went to the rehearsal dinner in the park where we sat and visited and ate barbequed hamburgers.  The next morning we got up, ate breakfast and then went on a drive with Uncle Fredy up the Beartooth Highway.  We didn't drive all the way to Cooke City, however we turned around just about 10 miles from it.  We stopped at the lookout at the top and fed the chipmunks that eagerly await handouts from tourists.  The drive was beautiful and well worth our time.  After the drive we stopped at the hotel to check on the bridal party and then picked up Oma for lunch and a parade of nations down Main Street in Redlodge.  We even managed to squeeze in a quick swim at our hotel before we started to get ready for the wedding.  What a fun day!!

The girls loved feeding the chipmunks right from their hands


We stopped to take a picture of the girls as we entered into another state.  The girls can check another state off the list of places they have visited.
