May 2023 West Trip – SD, WY, MT (+ 24th Anniversary Pics)

In May Grant & I celebrated our 24th Anniversary…hard to believe it’s almost been a quarter of a century!!😯

Right after Mike & Lexa’s wedding, we took a trip to SD, WY & MT…visiting a church & some family & friends. Then in June we had a couple restful days at a hotel (the last pictures are from that trip).

At Wall Drug Store in SD

Wall Drug Store – almost 100 years old!

After Wall Drug, we drove to see Devil’s Tower…we were pretty close & had never been, so that was a fun Detour. 😀

We ate lunch at Devil’s Tower Gulch just outside the entrance. Fun experience

The view from our table…I enjoyed the dichotomy of the actual vs the painting right above it 😀
The restaurant had a gift shop above it

We then stopped to visit my friend Melissa & her family….we first met on a missions trip to inner city Chicago more than 25 years ago & this was only the 4th time I’ve seen her since. It was very special to have a few hours with her. 💚

Melissa & I 💚
I’m so grateful for her friendship!
They have a small dog that jumped right up in Grants’ lap! 😀

Some pretty scenes driving home…MT, SD & WY are delivery unique & I love the gorgeous views 😍

This was a fun find in MT – some really old caves in the rocks

At Cooper’s Hawk on our way home from our anniversary getaway….amazing food & a wonderful restaurant atmosphere:
