Today is the end of our two weeks on the road from Washington to Montana and around Glacier National Park on a Great Lodge Tour of our own making. Now it is home again and back to business as usual.
The weather wasn't perfect; a colder and wetter late summer in the park, but we enjoyed every minute and the time spent with my brother and his wife who joined us from their home in Minnesota.
What a fun time! I love visiting Montana....Idaho and Montana used to have joint Realtor conventions ...I still haven't visited Yellowstone but it is on my bucket list!
My mom and dad will be visiting there next week...i will tell them to bundle uP!!!
Deborah - I found it strange that Glacier doesn't have cell phone or wifi available for the guests but they do for the staff. They said that they want the guest to experience the park ala the 1950's. Why the 50's I wonder? Why not 1910, when the park was founded? But being unconnected for a week didn't hurt me any!
A little disconnection can be a good thing. :) Sounds like a fantastic trip! I haven't been there since I was a kid.
Kristen - Disconnected it good, to a point. It seems partly a ploy to use their phone system and making it a 50's experience allows you to ride in their 50's fleet of touring cars. Hmmmm.
When you're with the right company and in the right place Glenn, the weather doesn't matter..........what a great way to end your vacation. Glad you got to spend time with your brother and his wife.............I enjoyed your travelogue very much..............great pictures too.
What a great trip... my kind of vacation. I haven't been to where your beautiful pictures were taken for many years. I hope you'll share more pictures soon. Talk to you soon...
Glenn: We have truly enjoyed going along on your vacation; the pictures have been spectacular. Thank you.
Tish - Glad to have you all along. Now back to work. Sigh!
René - We hope to go back but we also hope to see other national parks. You just never know.
Glenn, fantastic photos. I hope you are well rested, rejuvenated, and are prepped for making some deals happen.
J. Phillip - I was actually exhausted, but rejuvenated and am ready for deals.
It is certainly worth a trip and from Seattle it's drivable in one day. We will go back.
Glenn, I have so enjoyed your travelogue. And the photos are just amazingly beautiful.
Glenn, Even if the weather was not perfect, it sounds like it was a great vacation overall. Nice photos!
