Today was the first day of our Glacier National Park (GNP)
trip. We left the house around 7 am and
took a flight to Spokane. We were
delayed about an hour but it wasn’t a big deal.
After getting a minivan (we actually paid for an SUV but got
the minivan for the same price) we got on the road around 11:30 PDT. Our first stop was at a Chinese restaurant,
Ming Wah. The food wasn’t the best –
very heavy on the fattening stuff – but our waiter (and we think owner) was
awesome. I tried to order a couple of
things off the ala cart menu and he told me I should order the lunch special
because it was cheaper. He said, “I’m no
hustler,” with a very thick Chinese accent.
It was so funny.
We left Spokane and drove to Hungry Horse, MT via Cour
d’Alene, Idaho, which was beautiful.
All-in-all, it was a long drive and we gave back one of the
hours we’d gained (Montana is on Mountain Time) but we got to the Tamarack
Lodge and Cabins around 6 pm. Our place
is great and we’re about 10 miles outside of the Western entrance to the park.
Nick and I went for a 45-minute walk, then we had a good and fun dinner at the Lodge then went to the grocery store in the rain and picked up food. Our cabin has a full kitchen!
It’s now 10 pm and we’re all in our own corners winding down
for the night. It’s still raining
outside and it’s supposed to rain tomorrow so I’m not sure exactly what our
plans are but I know we’ll have a good time.
Can’t wait to see the park!
