Good times in western Montana!
We arrived in Missoula to meet Grandpa and Grandma Allen for lunch. After lunch we headed to their home in Corvallis. Grandpa met his new best friend -- Lola. "Look at that dog!"

We played a quick couple games of Golf Toss... I say quick because the victories were fast and brutal. We then toured Corvallis, Darby, and Hamilton with excellent tour guides - Grandma and Grandpa. Last night we wrapped up the evening with rousing games of Farkle and Bananagrams with Grandma while Grandpa bonded with Lola.

This morning we had breakfast a la Grandma -- pancakes with a secret ingredient... I could tell you, but you know what that means... and headed out at exactly 9:00. And exactly 10 hours later, we rolled into Puyallup after excellent subs at Staggering Ox in Spokane and a trip across both the continental divide and the mountain into the pacific time zone.

Alas, friends... our travel is just about over. Cross your fingers for one last successful standby flight!
