Billings, Montana

July 15-17, 2016

Blake and I took a quick trip to Billings, Montana. We decided to go the temple there, and make a weekend of it.  We left early Friday morning and drove to West Yellowstone and into Yellowstone Park.  We stopped for lunch in the park, then kept driving, leaving the park out of the East gate.  It was a long, winding ride.  We didn't even see much wildlife.  After leaving the park, we made our way to Cody, Wyoming.  We stopped in Cody and went to a little museum with cabins from the late 1800's and early 1900's.  We wound our way from Cody to Billings.  It was a long day traveling.  We stayed at the C'Mon Inn. It's a fun little hotel with fish in a little pond in the lobby.  On Saturday, we went to the temple, then just did some shopping and eating.  We got up early Sunday morning, found a Sacrament Meeting to attend, then headed for home.  We came home on I-90 and I-15, it was much faster.  It was a good little getaway weekend.

The buffalo was about the only animal we saw in the park. We saw the jack rabbit at the museum in Cody.  The fish in the hotel are huge! Blake thought the "please observe" sign in the bathroom in the park was very funny.  We are not very good at taking selfies.  The Billings temple is quite small, but very beautiful.
