Wyoming is surprisingly fun

While Billings, Montana was perhaps the ugliest town we've visited so far, Sheridan, Wyoming is, in my opinion, the nicest town we've stayed in. We had only about a two-hour car ride from Billings to Sheridan, so I didn't drive at all today. We slept in until about 9:30 then lazed around town until about 11:30 am. Finally, we were on the road and cruising at 75mph on the freeway! However, for some unexplained reason, the second we crossed the border into Wyoming the freeway turned pink. I'm not even joking! Maybe their state is just weird; I mean, it is Wyoming. Who would be wierd enough to name their state Wyoming? But, the pink freeway aside, Wyoming turned out to be a pretty state. Once we arrived in Sheridan, my mom called her old friend from high school Scott Tenney and we went over to his place for dinner. On the way, we stopped at what we thought was an old historic inn where Buffalo Bill Cody used to go, but apparently we had the wrong building as we walked into a smokey bar with a couple making out on the pool table!!! Finally we found the hotel and shortly afterword drove to mom's friend's house. It was very nice. As soon as Scott saw me, he told me I looked like my mom did when she was my age. I sat in the hotel and cried for hours (just kidding)! Scott turned out to be very funny and sarcastic and we learned some interesting stories about my mom (like the time they had to boil and dissect a cat for extra credit in a biology class). Scott's wife was extremely nice and his two daughters were there as well. Leah is going into her senior year in high school and Hannah is going into medical school next year. They were both really nice and I was so glad they weren't stupid girly-girls or something. After a evening full of laughs, we parted ways and when I got back to the hotel, Hayley and I worked out in their exercise room for awhile (I want to improve my chances for starting next year in waterpolo) and now I am winding down and getting ready for bed. Hope you all have had nice weather in Oregon (the weather on our trip so far has been pretty good, if a little hot)!
