Bumped

Desiree and I got bumped. Not bumped by another car. Not bumped out of position in a tournament. Not bumped from a flight at the airport. Not bumped into by a stranger in a crowded hallway.

We got bumped into an upgrade in rooms.

We were scheduled to stay in one of the original rooms at the historic Sacajawea Hotel in Three Forks, Montana. Upon checking in, we were told they needed to bump us out of our room in the hotel but would upgrade us to a cottage next door.

Some years ago, I spent a night in the Sacajawea. Both the hotel and the room were lovely, though sound from all corners of the world seemed to transmit into the room throughout the night.

While I was dubious at first, both Desiree and I found ourselves thrilled upon checking into Cottage #1. The cottages are more like miniature colonial mansions than anything else. This was equivalent to getting bumped into first class on a long flight.

I am sharing three photographs featuring the cottages.
