Montana Getaway

This past weekend Clara and I took our first road trip, just the two of us. Instead of heading west on the long, flat, scenic-less stretch of road called I90, we headed east. Our destination was Missoula, Montana. Although we stayed in Montana just over 24 hours, we had a wonderful time! Why the short trip? We went to see my dear friend, Andrea, and her family. Although Andrea currently lives in Colorado Springs, she flew up for the weekend. The rest of the McDivitt fam made the trek from the booming metropolis of Cut Bank, Montana (home of the giant penguin, pictured below) to support Morgan at the state B/C tennis championships.

We had a great time watching Morgan dominate her opponents (she WON STATE!), eating good food (MacKenzie River Pizza - I know you're jealous, Leah!), shopping tax free, and enjoying time spent together. It was lovely.

One of the best parts about winning the championships in the state of Montana: a TV interview! Add that to the list of...

a). multiple pictures in the Cut Bank paper every week &

b). a town parade following a state championship

...and we may just start considering making the move to small town Montana ;).

It's a good thing we like Missoula so much because we will be heading there on a more regular basis come fall. My little bro just signed with the grizzlies to play tennis. Here is a nice little article about it. This next weekend is the Washington state tennis championships and we're looking forward to cheering on "Uncle E". This little one is already a huge tennis fan!
