Montana July 07 Family Vacation: 1st Day in Bigfork

For the first time, the Rubio side of the family decided to take a vacation, a real vacation together! Although we spent 2 nights at the Rubio Ranch in Stevensville already, our real vacation began today, when we arrived in Bigfork, Montana (www.bigfork.org/), a beautiful, little town on the Northeastern tip of breathtaking Flathead Lake (www.gonorthwest.com/Montana/northwest/Flathead/Flathead-Lake.htm). We found this adorable and well-done cabin resort in Bigfork. (www.bridgestreetcottages.com) We LOVE the cabins! We rented one "Wooded King" cabin for Mike, the kids and I, that has a separate living area and kitchen to serve as our gathering place. Lolo & Lola, Aunt Bern & Uncle Shawn have adjoining cabin suites right next door! What a find! The cabins are lavishly decorated and they spared no expense. Its worth every penny! Keep checking--I'll try to update the blog every night we are here (only 2 nights, 3 days). We plan on heading up to Glacier National Park tomorrow (only 1 hour North: www.nps.gov/glac/) in the morning before coming back to enjoy the 4th of July Celebrations in Bigfork in the afternoon and evening. We're renting a boat on Flathead Lake on Thursday and then heading back to Stevensville for 2 more nights.
