Glacier National Park

Kelly and I took a vacation to Glacier National Park in Montana with my parents over my birthday. The week long vacation was just what we needed!

We had some close encounters with mountain goats, one huge hoary marmot and learned that dutch oven chili doesn't agree with Dad's or Kelly's digestive systems. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better birthday though!
