Whitefish, Montana - Day Three

I never thought my daughter would be living in Whitefish, Montana, but I can see why she loves it here so much. My first visit was last June, so it's a whole new world here in January! This morning, I was super excited to see two deer outside. Krista was unimpressed, saying they would eventually come much closer to the house, but I couldn't wait for that.

On second thought, the deer does look pretty far away...I'll do better next time! She-rah the cat is a little bored with winter. She sits on her perch and longs to go outside, but she doesn't think very much of all that snow.

Today, we decided to have lunch at the Lodge at Whitefish Lake. Driving through town, we saw the Garden Wall Inn (my favorite bed & breakfast), and it looked very festive. Hoping to stop by and see Chris, the co-owner, while I'm here).

 Most of the houses in town are still decorated, like this little one.

 The ski slopes are very visible as you head up that way.

 The Lodge is in full holiday finery.

After our late lunch and cocktails, we headed to the coziness of home. A nice fire in the fireplace, an afternoon nap, a movie this evening. Life is good.

Whitefish, Montana - Day Two

Woke up to a winter scene yesterday morning! Got up and showered (thankfully very toasty bedroom and bath), and Krista and I drove into town. First, though, I took a few photos outside of her house.

 The gardening shed isn't getting much use this time of year...

 It's half a mile out to the main road, but the scenery is gorgeous!

 Coming into town, it's very festive!

 Lots of Christmas décor on sale!

 There's a mosaic mural in town that depicts the four seasons.

 I love the dancing moose in it!

 Nice way to keep a can cool.

 Lots of skiers on Big Mountain today.

 Santa is still around on the road back home!

Stay tuned for more adventures!

Whitefish, Montana - Day One

I flew in on New Year's Day for a visit with my daughter, Krista. After a quick stop at her house, we headed to town for dinner. Beautifully decorated, Whitefish was magical at night, and the winter window shopping was perfect.
