Food, Fun, and a Moose in Montana

So Montana is awesome!

When the hubbers got home from deployment we took ourselves on a little vacation to Glacier National Park in Montana. I freaking loved it there! The people are sensational and the food is simple and fresh. I loved every moment and almost every bite. Here is a little pictorial of all the good (and not so good) stuff we ate & saw on our trip.

After a 12 mile hike to a GLACiER we treated ourself to a beautiful (and overpriced) meal at the Main Lodge in Many Glacier. We got the 'local' treats; bison with mashed taters and veg and Montana trout with quinoa and more veg. Although, the food was uninspired and slightly bland it tasted Dee after a freaking 12 MILE HIKE! But then again a hot dog would have been bom too…so...

Key Lime Cheesecake with Huckleberry sauce from Loula's Breakfast joint. When we asked the waitress if we should get pie (which they have a huge selection of) she kind of shrugged but the tides turned when we said we were thinking go the Key Lime. Her eyes lite up. We placed our order. Looking back I can saw with out any hesitation of a doubt that that shit right there was the best thing we ate.

A beautiful night.

A sample of beer from The Great Northern Brewing Company. Get the Wild Huckleberry Wheat Lager! I know it's kinda dorky and lame to get huckleberry at every place possible but I don't give a shit. I LOVE huckleberry! I love the way it tastes, smells…I love the way the word sounds! HUCK...LE…..BERRY!

Ice cream from Sweet Peaks. Husband= Mint Chip (typical) Wife = Chocolate & Something with Peanut Butter (also typcial). To be honest I love the whole idea/look/feel of this place. It's clean and funky. There was one adorable gal working (and reading cause it was a quite night) and she herself was eating their ice cream when we walked in. That is so lovely! An ice cream place where the people love the product they are serving!

However, I felt the ice-cream wasn't as good as I had hoped. Don't get me wrong…go there! Go there because heartfelt and small companies let alone ice cream joints like this are few and far between. Go and relish the beautiful of a small and local place that makes something well.

And finally our favorite find. A whiskey distillery that is making some most amazing whiskey; Glacier Distilling Company. We are not big drinkers nor do we have refined whiskey tastebuds but this place, no matter if you drink of not, was cool as frick!

 Sometimes I think if every day started with or ended with a Bloody Mary the world would be a much better place, albeit a much drunker place.
