Our sister trip to Chico Hot Springs was everything any one of us would have wanted. That could be a challenge with Anne and I liking a bit more physical activity than Joyce would. Last year we drug her on a, regrettable for her, white water rafting trip down the Flathead River. Of course the one to get injured had to be Joyce. So this year, since it was for her birthday, we opted for something more low key and relaxing.
So for just taking in the natural beauty of the Paradise Valley, relishing the best salmon dinner I ever tasted and just relaxing in the hot pool a couple of times, it was pretty perfect. Anne and I even got in a one and a half hour hike up into the foothills, too. I had to take lots of pictures of all the beautiful flowers that abounded along the way.
We kind of were optimistic that we would be able to sell our mom's French crystal to an antique store in Bozeman, though, in hopes that would pay for our trip. But it wasn't to be. So we hauled 96 crystal glasses of 6 different sizes, along with lots of other varied crystal pieces, taking up most of the space in the car, all the way to Bozeman. Then hauled them all the way back home again when the lady said she wasn't interested after all.
Next year is my year to pick our destination and activities for our sister trip and I have an entire year to think about it.
