Dinner at Chico Hot Springs

One of our favorite places to dine is Chico Hot Springs in the Paradise Valley between Livingston and Yellowstone National Park. Many great meals have been enjoyed there as well as many unique experiences. Thanksgiving 2007, Jeff and his family ate with us at the buffet. Everyone had a little bit of everything except for Curtis, who started at the desert section and returned 2 more times for the "banana's foster". When it was time to collect for the dining, we were asked his age, which was 5 years old at the time. We were told there would be no charge for his meal.

In the summer of 2008, Marty and I were joined by our granddaughter Crissy. Crissy normally is challenged to finish her dinner, but that night after she ordered her dinner, she spotted an entree on another table and ordered it as well. To everyone's astonishment, Crissy consumed 2 entrees, an all time record.

So, to celebrate our trip to Chico, I had not 1 but 2 appetizers, 2 entree's plus my favorite desert, a chocolate coconut pie that tastes just like a "mounds" bar. I probably had a glass or 2 of wine also. It was a great meal and these pictures were taken to prove that grandpa can do it also.

Did you guess Yellowstone National Park?

Where could you find an elk in this much snow that would be within the range of 40 miles from our ranch? We'll spend Friday and Saturday in Yellowstone while staying at our favorite resort, Chico Hot Springs. We will most likely have some pictures and for sure some stories about our trip. Clint will be stopping at The Paradise Gallery in Gardiner to bring them some more of his photograhy, rocks, and cards.
