Adventure update for Tuesday, September 1 (Day 4):
On Tuesday, we came back down from the Sperry Chalet and explored Going to the Sun Road and the St. Maryโs Lake area.
The grand vistas of this place are mind-blowing. Waterfalls like Baring Falls and Sunrift Gorge are beautiful.
We wrapped up the day with a guided boat tour of St. Maryโs Lake before staying at the Rising Sun Motor Inn, a kitschy throwback to roadside motors on the early days of car travel.

Delayed adventure Update (Day 3 - due to limited internet access)
A thread:
Monday was a hiking day in @GlacierNPS. We hiked the Trail of the Cedars and Avalanche trails in the morning to a beautiful alpine Lake fed by multiple waterfalls in a gorgeous ampitheatre.
After lunch (and a nap), we hiked up into the mountains to the Sperry Chaletโa 1913 backcountry mountain lodge (which was rebuilt in 2017 after burning down in a forest fire)โ which can only be reached by a 6.5-mile 3,500 for hike from Lake McDonald (the closest access point).
Todayโs Adventure Update (Day 2)
Today, we rode one of the iconic/historic red buses of @GlacierNPS to a completely fogged-in Logan Pass (where we got a little wintery mix).

Watched the Japan-Sweden World Cup match in person at AT&T Stadium with @SCollodi.
A fun match (1-1 draw) when a packed stadium of passionate fans.
So glad we could share that experience together!
We wrapped up Staceyโs Top Performer event last night with the Gala event to recognize each of the award winners.
It made me proud to watch on as Stacey was recognized as a peer among the best-of-the-best in Marriott.
Sheโs pretty awesome and looked gorgeous last night.
Enjoying a few days in southwest Florida for the Marriott Top Performers reward trip that @SCollodi earned for being in the top 10% of Event Directors in North America in 2025.
Very proud that she is being recognized for the quality work that she does.
Last year, we began a landscape renovation home project and started with the hardscaping portion in the backyard. Over the past year we had a pergola and screens installed and built our own deck to create an outdoor living space, with amenities, of which we are very proud.
