The Head & the Heart in Missoula

Jeff and I got to go to Missoula for FOUR DAYS...to see The Head and the Heart at the amphitheater! The kids (and Nessa) stayed with G'ma and Papa and we took the trailer to Jim & Mary's. We had a travel day on both ends, but on the first full day we went on a VERY HOT hike and then we went to the concert. On day two we biked in Missoula and hit bookstores and restaurants. It was a great trip!

At the concert a giant storm came through right as the opening act, Dawes, was closing.  We took cover in the beer garden for a bit, then waited out the storm and the concert resumed after an hour or so.  It was an amazing concert in a beautiful venue.  We will go again!

Spokane Staycation

Jeff & I finally used our Davenport gift certificate that he got on his 40th birthday...almost 2 years ago?!? Veterans Day was on a Thursday this year, so Jeff and I took Friday off of work (Jeff did, I don't work Fridays, shhhhh!) and started our staycation on Wednesday night by attending the 90+ Fundraising night at WhistlePunk Brewery.  We then BASICALLY ate at every restaurant downtown that we've been wanting to...Auntie's and Atticus was visited...

Ellie's 20th Whitworth Reunion

Back when we had Covid, I remember wondering if we would feel comfortable going to see Leslie Odom Jr. at the Fox Theater in October during my class reunion weekend.  I am so glad I went for it!  We felt fine being in a larger group...masks and vaccines required...and we even splurged and went out to The Wild Sage for dinner beforehand.  Fancy dinner, clothes, and show!  It was so fun to go out...the first in quite some time.  Leslie Odom Jr. was amazing! We ran into my freshman year roommate, Kendra, and her husband, and saw many familiar faces.  Dinner was so good that I had to take "Somebody Feed Phil" pics for the kids.  :)
