Hello Montana!

Polson, MT

July 1-2, 2013

To us, there is something really special about July! Having been a teacher for 34 years, July was the best month ever. For me, June was always spent catching up on all the things around our home that didn't get done during the previous school year. But July, was time to play!

Playing usually included a family vacation. Now that we enjoy a full-time RV lifestyle, everyday seems like a vacation! But July, still calls for something a little special.  So, here we are for the first time ever in a Motorcoach Resort in Polson, MT.

Actually, this is two parks in one! If you look at the above picture of the office really close, you will see a KOA logo. That's because Paul, the owner of both parks, decided people might want to own a nice RV site here and stay awhile!

Monday was spent getting things all set up, checking out the resort's off leash doggie park, finding the grocery store, and oh yes, stopping by the car wash...Pearl was dirty!

Our puppies were quite happy to find a nice fenced in space with thick, green grass.

While we were driving here yesterday, we had a serious discussion...we have Pearl (our Jeep), but have never named our MH. If you follow Steve and Mona Lisa (The Lowe's RV adventures) then you know all about Betsy. Great blog! And if you follow Bayfield Bunch, you know all about Winnie The Bago. Great blog too!

Well, its not easy coming up with a name...Pearl was easy because her color is true blue pearl...but a bus? Finally, after many suggestions and many laughs...we decided... Belle it is!

Belle...a French word meaning beautiful and... being from Georgia, a Southern Belle implies Southern hospitality.

The deck, pictured above, has a nice view of Flathead Lake. It's the gathering place for pancakes, movies, etc.

The landscaping is immaculate here.

Tuesday was puppy play day! And look where we found to play...

...an off leash park on Flathead River. The park provides a grassy area and a stretch for water play on the banks of the river.

The dock is complete with steps if you or your pup wants to jump in for a swim. There is a rock path that leads to the water also. A romp in the grass might be in order!
