| Forest Fire |
The next morning, after a puffy eyed wakeup of regretting the amount of alcohol consumption from the night before, we said our good byes and set out to make the long trek back to Texas, but before we leave this great state, we stopped to have lunch in Butte at Trimbo’s Pizza. Back on the road and in the middle of Montana, we saw a pretty nasty forest fire with helicopters flying over to dump water on it, and a few fire trucks driving towards it. It was pretty crazy! I hope they got it out before it caused too much damage. A few hours later, while driving through Wyoming, we hit a few patches of rain and experienced the most beautiful and full half moon rainbow that I’ve ever seen! Another Awwww moment! It was incredible! Then, dinner was had in Casper Wyoming at Lime Leaf Asian Bistro. I made a late breakfast in Oklahoma, and then we were home in McKinney by 2:30pm. My rear end was quite sore from sitting on it for 28+ hours, so I had to exercise. Also, our good friend from Houston was coming to stay with us that night because he had a meeting in Irving the next morning, and our fridge was empty, so I made a trip to the store. I was craving something spicy and Latin, so I made Arepas! Delicious as always!

| Trimbo's Off the Hook Pizza |
We chose Trimbo’s because it was just visited by Adam Richman, the host of Man V. Food for their 5 pound Stromboli challenge. They had a picture of him at the order counter, but he was not on the Wall of Shame or the empty Fame, which is probably due to the fact that the show hasn’t aired yet. Their menu was filled with your basic pizzeria choices but they had the addition of calzones, strombolis, and sandwiches. All of which are made from scratch. I chose the Capresi Panini, consisting of home-made focaccia bread, mozzarella, tomatoes, and fresh pesto…..Yum! MT got the Special Sandwich of the day, Italian Beef. The service was a little slow, but well worth it. My Panini was nicely toasted with a nice spread of pesto and the mozzarella oozing out of the sides! MT couldn’t stop moaning over his sandwich…..which I believe is called a Food-gasm….so I had a taste….. I concurred. We enjoyed every minute of our last meal in Montana.

Casper, WY does not have many choices for restaurants that aren’t a national chain, serves alcohol and open on Sundays for dinner. Considering that 4 of the top 10 Urbanspoon rated restaurants were Chinese, one of them ended up being the only place I could find that was worth trying. The place was actually quite nice inside with a modern décor, and the menu was fairly extensive. The wine list on the other hand was not, but I opted for a glass anyway. We started with Steamed Pork Pot Stickers, which were decent, and then shared a big bowl of War WonTon soup, filled with steaming clear broth, shrimp, slices of pork, mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, ginger, and pork wontons. Everything came out quick and was fairly good for an Asian restaurant in Casper Wyoming. We definitely lucked out on our restaurant choices throughout this entire trip. I have been nothing but impressed!
