Places to go outside Yellowstone

Good Afternoon! I hope everyone is enjoying their day. I certainly am. Today, we toured the Hot Springs and Geysers of Yellowstone National Park. But before we got into the park, we had to have breakfast. At the log cabin we were staying in (Paradise Gateway Guest Cabins in Emegrint, Montana), they left us some amazing fresh bread, fresh eggs, and some homemade strawberry-rubarb jam.

The cabin we stayed in was beautiful, right out of the tv show Heartland. It was picture-perfect, with stunning views of the mountains and a stunning river. The service was exceptional, and the cabin was well-stocked and extremely comfortable. I highly recommend. If you are a smaller group than us 6, they are also a bed and breakfast, which is also supposed to be great. The owners are friendly and very helpful.

After making some toast with jam, we made some eggs. But Mom and Dad wanted some more coffee, so we decided to stop right outside the Yellowstone sign. We stopped at a small coffee/gift/ice cream shop called Yellowstone Perk. They were well-known for their Ice cream, but Mom and Dad just wanted coffee, and of course, so did all of us kids. Dad sent me in to tell Mom our orders, and one of my sisters came with me. We entered the store, and when Mom saw us, she out-of-the-blue asked us if instead we wanted ice cream. Reminder, this was 9:45 in the morning, and Mom doesn’t normally let that kind of thing fly. But she said it looked amazing and it was.

The shop, Yellowstone Perk, was peaceful and adorable on the inside. With good prices, and amazing food for a cheap price, I decided it was well worth the review. I had the flavor Moose Tracks, and I highly recommend it. It is a chocolate-vanilla swirl with tiny peanut-butter cups mixed in. Two of the other kids had a flavor called Montana Moose Moss, and they said it was so good. It compares to mint-chocolate-chip ice cream, except 10x better. It was a mint version of Moose Tracks. Dad had sea-salt Carmel truffle and he claims “It was superb. Best breakfast so far.” My other sister had Huckleberry, a popular flavor in this region for a lot of things. She says the actual ice cream was good, but the actual berries mixed in were hard and sour. But overall, the coffee, the ice cream, and the service is good.

Have a wonderful rest of the day! Oh, and go follow our new Instagram account! Follow us @6seizingtheworld !!!!!!!!
