Saturday Dec 7, 2024, the halfway mark of our trip:
We don’t tend to plan park days on Saturdays. I find there’s still a weekday / weekend rhythm to crowds, and that’s especially so at a time of year like December. But that doesn’t mean we stay away from neat things.
On Dec 7, we slept in and then leisurely headed to a Whispering Canyon ADR at Wilderness Lodge, to enjoy a good brunch and also take in the sights of the WL lobby at Christmastime.
There’s great places to sit and read, even if it’s reading your phone
In the afternoon they even open up a little cookie and hot cider stand, which we enjoyed so much we came back the following week too. We each enjoyed a warm cider, and I remember liking the Linzer cookie and the dark chocolate bar.
We did a little shopping on the way back to the resort. Went to a different TJ Maxx up in Dr Phillips and took a photo of this ridiculous thing at Home Goods ($700
):
Then we just settled in at the resort for a quiet night, while I watched some good and thrilling conference championship games for college football.
It was all recharge time, but that’s absolutely needed on any vacation. It’s ESPECIALLY needed on vacations with 10+ mile walking days
