T&K ROAD TRIP(S): Bigfork, Montana - wayyyyy more our kind of place :-)

OK, when we left the quaint motel, the owner, Janet, told us about Bigfork. She said it was Whitefish without the plastic pretentiousness and was only 20 minutes from where we were...so off we went!! Half an hour later found us in the cutest little village. Laidback, mellow vibe with great shops and nice people. We are staying at the Swan River Inn - from the outside doesn't look like much, but wowsers is it our kind of place!! Margrit, the owner, is from Switzerland and a very kind woman. We got a tour of the place so we could pick which room we wanted (they are all theme decorateed - and yes, this usually scares the hell out of me). We chose the Art Deco Room - one of the most comfortable hotel rooms EVER we think!! Shades of purple everywhere, antique furniture and truly art deco inspired decor. Just gorgeous and comfy and and and!

The food here has been awesome!!! Last night we had dinner at Showthyme, based on Yelp and Trip Advisor reviews - and boy were they right!!! Truly one of the best meals that either of us had ever had - every single bite and flavor was just about perfect. I had cedar plank salmon and Terri had the house speciality, Toothfish with a thai curry sauce. YUMMO!!! After that, we wandered shops a bit more (no honey, I haven't purchased any shoes ;-) and then hit "Sweet Peaks" for ice cream - salted caramel and fresh waffle cones!! YAY!

Here's some photos around Bigfork. We will get some hotel shots before we checkout tomorrow and head to...somewhere else ;-)

excuse the finger blocking the corner - this is how the whole main street looks - just perfect for Montana!
