Tasting Montana from Butte to Missoula
A Taste of Montana on Instagram
Juicy steaks, gourmet tacos, and ice cold distilled spirits were just a few of the tasty indulgences that Mr. TWS and I enjoyed in Montana this summer on our “Small Towns, Big Eats” road trip from Bozeman to Missoula.

And I was happy. Road trips make me smile, and arriving at a place where I’ll be visiting loved ones makes me smile, too.
