Lean into discomfort if you want to push your boundaries.

Better late than never.

Better to finally visit Glacier in Winter than never visiting in Winter.

Winter in Glacier, HQ

two people at National Park sign — Annual tradition to stop at the West side entrance sign. First winter trip. Snow in the background.

toy figurines by mountain lake — Bluey and Roo. Lake McDonald. Continental Divide.

wooden hotel room key — Flip side on the John Muir quote room key.

Our first Winter trip to Glacier is unplanned. It feels good and right. Exploratory. Low bar. Fun.
dad

Believe

iPhone trade in value chart — Wondered about my backup phone trade-in value, maybe 7:00 AM today.

healthcare email — Easy to complete the second time. After three weeks from the initial completion, nothing has changed.

hotel reservation cancellation screenshot — Started cancelling everything for 2023.

Garmin GPS plan change screen — Spent the afternoon on small ticket items, and bigger ticket items…

airline flight cancellation credit — Cancelled for a future credit, the one-way ticket. Seems like only five years ago that fee would be roundtrip fare.

Always remember, a long day is a blessing.
dad

A long day.

Emotionally draining day.

Insanely grateful day.

Surrounded by talented local and national experts to help with planning, logistics, changes, etc.

Could have used a six-mile walk but getting zero miles today is still ok, all things considered.

Blessed to be exhausted.

Bonus was watching the final Season three Ted Lasso episode.

Everything about today makes me feel like the luckiest person alive.

Makes one wonder if every day can feel like this.

Giddy (and) UP

Woman on touring bicycle — Puget Sound. Honeymoon. We’ve been filling our “Adventure Book” even before we got married.

Hoping for the best is an awesome mindset.
dad

Giddy about returning to Glacier in as little as a week.

UP is our favorite Pixar movie.

Adventure is out there.

We know it.

We love doing it.

Grateful for hoping for the best because it led me to hold off on canceling every reservation.

Thank goodness.

Hoping Friday’s eye exam is the green light to (a return to our Summer 2023) Adventure.

Our packed and organized rental van is waiting for our arrival.

Note: We’ve been paying for the van even though no one is driving it.
