We hadn't been to Montana before, but a few days ago we joined our friends Dan and Sarah in the celebration of their matrimony in Big Sky.
We also got a chance to catch up with our gang of friends from Minnesota y visit Yellowstone Park.Unlike most other trips, there were no bikes on this one, so if you were expecting to read an epic story of cycling over the montains of Montana...check back next summer.
With the Cardinals playing at home the day we left and the Democratic Convention wrapping up in Denver, United put us on a Boeing 767 for the less than 2 hour flight. That was kinda interesting.
While walking through the Denver airport we stopped at the Crocs store and after some deliberation Norma decided to get a pair of pink MaryJanes to match my orange crocs. Now we both can look goofy but comfortable. 
Once in Montana, we met with the rest of the group and drove in caravan from Bozeman to Big Sky.
We attended the wedding rehearsal and had a great time after dinner with Dan impersonating Ray Charles and badly detuning the hotel's piano.
I spent the wedding day behind the video camera recording the events for the new couple but we had a wonderful time. Congrats to Dan and Sarah and the best wishes on you new married life! It was interesting to see so many people dancing Nigerian music during the reception. That was definitely a first. 
The day after the wedding we decided to explore the outdoors so we went out for a round of FOLF....that's right not regular golf but friesbee golf. It's very similar to golf. There are no golf cars, there is no dress code, no beverage cart, no manicured lawns, no paved paths, not tee times, no actual holes and it's played up, around and down the mountain....actually it's not like golf at all, except that there are 18 segments and it takes over 3 hours to complete. Anyway, we had a great time enjoying the mountain air, hiking in search of our lousy thrown freesbies and taking in the views.
Before returning to Phoenix, we visited Yellowstone Park. We stopped at almost every historical, geological, flora and fauna marker in the park. We also got snowed that afternoon but we saw a Bison and watch Old Faithful do its thing so it was worth it.
Now back at home, we have had a lot of stuff to do to get back to real life. There is a lot going on to get the 09 cycling season under way, but it was really nice to be off the bike for the last two weeks.To see the rest of the pictures, click HERE!
Pura Vida!
