About this blog

Our family - myself, my husband Joe, and kids Aislyn, 5 1/2, and Ren, 2 1/2, decided to spend nearly 5 weeks in our favorite U.S. city, Missoula, MT. The problem is, we live in western Massachusetts, and we wanted to travel in a way that was 1)sane for a family with young kids and 2) as low-carbon as possible. This blog chronicles our adventures and misadventures.
