The Cabin at Mountainaire

We had been eager to take the cousins up to the Cabin at Mountainaire and enjoy sometime roughing it around the pool table. We were only able to come for a Saturday and part of Sunday, but time seemed to slow down for our trip and we definitely enjoyed the getaway.

Saturday we took the cousins to the Moonridge Zoo. Initially we were concerned that our hard earned money had been spent in vain, but the kids in particular enjoyed their time there. The older ones and the dads stayed for the feeding tour, which was legitimately entertaining. We learned that wolf urine smells like skunk, raccoons prefer egg yolks to egg whites, and that our children think watching a bald eagle disembowel a rat is disgusting.

Let’s talk about food. Saturday night we went to BLT’s – the bacon cheeseburger that I ate blew my mind. It’s worth going back just for that. In the morning we waited for the Grizzly Manor Cafe. The pancakes, as advertised, are bigger than your head. The kids haven’t stopped talking about it since.

We enjoyed good company, good food, and had a relaxing and comfortable time at the cabin. The cousins had a great time together, Luke spent some quality time with DoggyZabba, and the dads (and Luke) got a chance to play some much needed Playstation hockey.

We can’t wait to go back.
