day 12 - Glacier - written by Amanda

Wednesday June 14  - Day 12 of trip – Glacier National Park (written by Amanda)

This morning dad got mad at me for sleeping in late. Apparently 9 a.m. is a little too late. 

We drove up a long logging road to the Canadian border, but it was closed for the season. 

eh, you hosers......

In the park, we had lunch at a place called the Home Ranch Bottoms. It was the 7^th best restaurant in the middle of nowhere (said a sign out front). While waiting for the food, we played a few games of Spades. I was partnered with Dad, and he NEVER got his bid! One time I helped him with two extra tricks, and he still didn’t get his bid! He made ME lose, which is not a good thing (still bitter)  L . It was good food, and we had huckleberry pie (So good!). 

We intended on taking a road in the national park called The Road to the Sun, but it was closed (Dad was un-happy about that). On the way back we picked up another hitch-hiker. She was a nice girl from Kalispell, whose husband was supposed to pick her up and take her to her flight that night, but he got caught up at work. She was a PA for a dermatologist, so she and my mom had some good conversations (my mom has had skin cancer five times). After we dropped her off, we took a short walk through the woods on a paved trail (Dad was not happy about that).

We came back to camp and had left over trout that Tom had given us (Thanks Tom!)

Overall it was a fun day!
