Made it to Montana by 1 p.m., and our realtor, Rick, picked us up and took us out to see the first lot. The lot itself was pretty, but the surrounding properties had quite a bit of yard clutter, utility trailers, and RVs. It was also really windy, and ultimately, we realized it just wasn\u2019t the place<\/em> for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyler, Marty\u2019s brother, met us there and gave us some great ideas about positioning the house so we wouldn\u2019t have to see the trailers and RVs, but even with that, it just wasn\u2019t our favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, Tyler picked us up and took us to his private club, The Homestead Club. What a spectacular property! Beautiful 20-acre parcels surrounded by incredible Montana scenery. Definitely too expensive for us, but spectacular nonetheless. One of those places that makes you stop and appreciate how beautiful Montana is. ❤️<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also saw another lot on the way to dinner and decided to stop back by after dinner. This one really caught our attention\u2014grassy, surrounded by pine trees, with a pond. Absolutely gorgeous! We\u2019re going to consider this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinner was a chef-inspired experience where they just kept bringing out food\u2014course after course. Unfortunately, Doug broke a tooth on his very first bite of bread and didn\u2019t tell anyone! He just quietly stopped eating, which explained why he wasn\u2019t eating much the rest of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we got back to the hotel, Doug let the realtor know the first property was a definite no, but we\u2019re going to consider the second one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we\u2019re at the airport getting ready to board our flight home. We\u2019ll make a stop on the way home at the dentist, where Ryan is meeting us at his clinic to fix Doug\u2019s tooth. Hopefully, that will be the end of our Montana dental adventure! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a quick but memorable trip. We saw some beautiful country, explored some possibilities, and definitely have a lot to think about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great day and God bless! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
