glamping with court (part 2)

I hope you enjoyed reading the first half of my weekend in gorgeous Montana! Saturday was another fun filled (and absolutely GORGEOUS) day. Unfortunately my internal clock wakes me up early regardless of whether or not I need to get up. We both took our time to get ready, drank some coffee (pumped – that’s a whole other post… pumping and traveling. Anyone interested in that post?) , and got ready for our morning. We had a yogalates class scheduled for 9 AM, so we decided to grab a light breakfast before the class.

Ummmm, about that light breakfast. Do you know how hard it is to have a “light” breakfast when there are so many delicious options on the menu? We scrapped that idea the second we saw the menu. We sipped on some coffee and both ordered veggie omelets and toast (well…. Chocolate chip pancake for Court!).

During this time, the CEO of the resort stopped by to ask us how our stay had been so far. I thought it was incredibly nice of him to check in with us to see how things were going. I could truly tell how much pride he had in his resort, and I don’t blame him. It is an incredible place!

Our yogalates class was amazing. It took place outside overlooking the gorgeous pastures and mountains. I had never taken a yogalates class, and I was pleasantly surprised. It had some pilates moves that I am familiar with, and it also had some sun salutations and vinyasa type yoga moves I am accustomed to. Courtney and I were the only two in the class, so it was nice to receive some individualized attention. The hour went by very quickly, and before I knew it, our instructor, Laura, was covering us with blankets to relax for the last few minutes.

The rest of the morning and early afternoon was ours to spend however we wanted to. We relaxed (and took a nap on the couch), got some lunch, and I facetimed with my little ladies. I was more than happy to see their little faces – I missed them!

At 2:00, we had geocaching plans! We met as a group and split up into two teams. If you’ve never geocached before, it is pretty fun! It’s basically a scavenger hunt with the use of a GPS device that points you to your next location. Because it was a contest between the two teams, it was ON! We trekked through the forest, got wet and dirty, and I swear I felt like I was going to die. High elevations are no joke. How do people who live in locations like Montana make it? I thought I was going to pass out! Our team ended up winning (we were a little tooooo competitive), and Skinny Cow gifted us with Bluetooth speakers for our phone. How cool!

Shortly after we got back, we headed to our cabin to get ready for the evening. We had a closing group dinner to attend, and we certainly didn’t want to show up in our workout gear. After getting ready, a van came to pick us up and brought us to Pinnacle Camp. The set up for dinner was gorgeous. The rustic setting along with the pops of color the team decorated with pulled everything together. We ordered our favorite Huckleberry Hound drink (although once you get two in you those become “blood hounds”… and if you drink three, they become “hound dogs”. Oy – that’s what you get when a few moms go away and have some drinks!), and socialized with the other fabulous women who were in attendance.

Shortly after we arrived, we sat down to dinner. It was amazing! The chefs cooked on site, and everything was tasty as ever. Our appetizer included smoked salmon, crusty bread, and a cream cheese spread. I stuck to the salmon with just a touch of the cream cheese, and it was out of this world. Oh what I would give for a slab of crusty bread sometimes!

We also had a choice between soup or salad – I chose the salad and I was glad that I did.

Our entrée included rib eye, scallops, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables. Dessert was crème brulee! By the time we were done, we were incredibly stuffed.

Some girls had room for some s’mores, and our personal campfire butlers offered their marshmallow roasting services… I kid you not. They think of everything at that resort!

I am pretty sure at this point of the night, I was crying from laughing so hard!

After a fun time (and a lot of shenanigans), we called it a night a little early – we had an early flight to get to the next morning.

My time at the Paws Up Resort was incredible. If you ever get a chance to travel to Montana, I highly recommend staying there. A big thanks goes out to Courtney (who I certainly owe a trip to Mexico for inviting me to go with her), all the staff at Paws Up, as well as Mode Media and Skinny Cow for putting everything together. I had a blast!
