Last night, after dinner, Spence and I were trying to figure out what to do... "Let's go to Havre, and stay over night." What a great idea, I can't remember whose idea it was, but I'll take credit. In 10 minutes we packed the car with a sleeping bag, 2 pillows, our passports and some clothes and got on the road; the border crossing closed at 9pm, so we had to hurry.
Havre, MT is about 2 hours away, they don't really have much there except a bunch of bars and casinos, but they have a Super Wal-mart. We bought a bunch of junk food, all the neat stuff we don't have here. I loved the drive, it was 2 hours of time with Spence. I loved shopping with him, he pretended to be interested in the things I like, I tried to do the same. We are really cheap, so we found a parking lot and slept in our car, it was just as romantic, I loved it. We walked around the town a bit and shopped at O'Reilly's and BIG R, Spence got the second to last camping accessory he has ever wanted... a small stainless steel camping teapot (the last thing he wants is a MEC double hammock... it's in the mail). On our drive home we stopped at Elkwater provincial park and got ice cream cones at the old gas station, I completely recommend it. For $2.50 we got HUGE cones, I was actually FULL after eating it.
Tomorrow we go out to pick up Kali, I miss her so much. Having 4 brothers and sisters for a week is probably doing her a lot of good though.
How spontanias and romantic! Joe and I had a fun get away from our kids back in Feb and reading this is making me want to have another. Sheesh! How fun!
ReplyDeleteSometimes Spur of the moment times are great! Sounds like you had a fun time.
ReplyDeleteWait a second. Did you say you were FULL after eating only one ice cream cone? I am so disappointed in you.
