Miles 2963-3098: Whitefish and Eureka
When we woke up in the morning, we went down and got breakfast. I had some of the daily egg casserole, which had mixed vegetables that day, which was pretty good, and a blueberry bagel with cream cheese. We rode to Eureka, Montana, for Jackson and Dad to play golf at the Wilderness Club. After we dropped them off at the golf course, we went by the club house to pay for our trail ride that we were doing later. Mom and I went shopping. We went through several thrift shops and an antique store. We went into a cool apothecary-like shop, where they had this cool stuff called boba/bubble tea. You choose base tea (black, green, jasmine, etc.), they add a flavor, and you can add-ins, like the bobas (bubbles). I had a Mango n’ Matcha with cherry bobas. the bobas are the frozen yogurt toppings that pop in your mouth. It was delicious. We also went through a local art gallery. I ended up buying a locally made leather bracelet with a turquoise stone. After lunch, we went back to the Wilderness Club for our trail ride. We got on our horses and went around the arena just fine. As soon as we left the arena, we started having problems. Mom’s wouldn’t move and mine wouldn’t stop eating. Every ten yards, he stopped for more grass. The instructor told me to keep his head up, so I tried as hard as I could and when he finally yanked his head down, he ripped open my blister from climbing. When we finally got them under control, the trail ride was really fun. I just love the feeling of being on top of a horse. There were great views on the trail too. After the ride, we went by the club house to pick Dad and Jackson up. I had time to finish the Boys in the Boat (it was awesome; thanks for the recommendation, Elizabeth!!). We sat at the clubhouse with them and the people they played with while they ate lunch. They played with two Canadians and apparently talked a lot. It was really interesting, listening to their conversation. We stopped by Whitefish Lake before we went back to the hotel. We had dinner at the Buffalo Cafe in downtown Whitefish. We got chips and salsa for the table, and I split the huge Mexican Mac n’ Cheese with Dad and it was delicious. When we got back, I was too tired to blog and just went to bed.
