One Word To Describe Montana...

A good friend recently moved to Montana... I was bummed about his departure from Spokane as well Polson Montana isn't quite on my top 5 places to visit... or really top 1000... it's Montana... there's not much to do there. Or so I thought... Everyone that I have told about Brandon's excursion to Montana has responded "it's pretty there". "Pretty" everyone has used that exact same word! To me "pretty" is code for, well there's nothing to do there, so we'll focus on the landscape... awesome... sure sounds like a place I want to check out! Nooot!

I have heard the word "pretty" from everyone but my dad, who had the same response I did when Brandon said he was moving to Montana... "WHY"?! Gotta love my dad and his dislike of nature:) I think it's where I get it from. But finally yesterday when my boyfriend said that Montana was, you guessed it, "pretty" I flipped out. We then had a huge discussion about natures wonders... and how I think Fenway Park has a lot more history and appeal than Yellowstone. He was appalled by my priorities, and I was in disbelief as to how he'd pick trees and rock over turf, the Green Monster, hot dogs and beer! Oh well. Looks like we'll find other vacation buddies the next time he wants to go camping and I want to check out a baseball game.

Bottom line, if you surveyed 100 people (Family Feud style) 98 of them would use "pretty" as their one word to describe Montana. 2 would say "boring".
