Our Trip To Montana

















We just got back last Wednesday from our trip and i wasn't able to write something about it cause hahaha i am doing a lot of laundry from our trip. Yesterday is a relaxing lazy day in the house and get back to work in the afternoon.




We left Sunday on the 1st about 9:00 am, we are planning on going up on the way to Utah then Idaho then to Montana. There are lots of amazing views, rocky mountains, beautiful valleys, lakes and farm lands on the way up. We missed Grand Canyon again cause it took 30 miles from the road so might be next trip just for Grand Canyon only. We stopped at Lake Powell for some sightseeing and as we crossed the bridge is the beginning of Utah. We spend our 1st night at Nephi Utah cause we've stopped a lot for our daughter to run around for her playtime and stopped for sightseeing and some pictures too. That's not a big of a town and not good to stopped by for us, we are aiming Springville but it's already dark. There are only few choices of hotels around and that was the highest we've paid on the trip. So people if you are planning for a road trip, stopped and spend night on a bigger town were they have choices of hotels and cheaper than in a small town. We reach Salt Lake City and we can't see the lake along the highway. Very nice place and beautiful valley and farm land as we passed the city. We spend our second night on Salmon Idaho, we saw a cave house on the hills were the walls on the outside is made of woods and windows were car windshield and doors. We should drove all the way to Montana cause we are so close but my husband thinking about exploring the town in the morning. On the way we stopped on sky high ski park were my husband used to ski when we was a kid and high school life. We stopped on his aunt's house and spend the night with them. Very nice place a lot of pines around and air so fresh. We didn't went fishing as what we've plan to cause water is so high and fast current, so maybe next time. We got on his mom house Wednesday, went exploring around town. The next day we went to Philsbourg and Maxville were my husband used to go for camping and stopped on a sapphire place to look for your own sapphire. It's very interesting and i found the biggest of us 3 with my husband's daughter Jessica. It's nice spending time with them and a lot of their relatives went on their house for a get together at Saturday. Sunday we start heading down again. It's so fast vacation and hope we can spend longer time next time. Stopped at Boise Idaho to visit our friend Mark, Stephanie and Marcus and spend a night. We drove part of Southern Oregon on our way to Reno Nevada and drove miles of miles of emptiness in Nevada again and weather is getting warm so opposite in Montana. Stay a night in Reno, it's a very nice town. The next day were headed to Laughlin as what we are planning to cause it's closer to Phoenix than Las Vegas. We just passed Las Vegas and stay at Laughlin for a night and gamble a little. That place is packed even on week days... We make a lot of driving but even so we enjoyed our trip and our visit, stopping for exploring and sightseeing.
