Sun, shopping, spa, wine? Sure, me too. Those are always fun things to do with friends. It is time to think a little out of the box.

Our days were filled with hiking, moose safaris, naps, and laughter while our evenings were spent reading, talking, cooking, and drinking wine together. This region just outside of Glacier National Park offers outdoor adventure combined with cute towns, local breweries and distilleries, and one-of-a-kind adventures.
My friend Keryn and I loved our Montana girlfriend getaway and we had the best time reconnecting with each other and enjoying nature.
Where to stay: For a short stay, fly in and out of Missoula and stay at the Residence Inn Missoula downtown where you can walk to cute boutiques, restaurants, day spas, and cocktail bars. Just a half-hour south of Nashville lies the cutest little downtown with a great American Main Street that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There is a reason the town of Franklin has appeared in so many Hallmark movies! In downtown Franklin, you will find unique shops, restaurants, antique stores, entertainment, and the arts.
I visited with my friend Kim a few years ago and it was great because she was coming from the West Coast and I was from the East Coast, so we got to meet somewhat in the middle and experience something new. It was a fun mix of adventure, eating, drinking, and shopping in the American Southwest.
