We had a fun day today at Chena Hot Springs Resort. In addition to the hot springs they have an ice sculpture museum that serves "appletini's" in carved ice martini glasses!
The ice museum started out as an ice hotel with a bar, a wedding area and four bedrooms. But, it never was allowed to open as a hotel because it did not meet the building code - it didn't have a sprinkler system! So now they call it a "museum." They have a husband and wife team, professional ice carvers, that work full time to keep it maintained and carve all the martini glasses. They actually celebrate many weddings inside - obviously short ceremonies! They provide winter coats and suggest you wear gloves so you can hold your martini glass! What a unique experience!

It really felt good to soak in the hot springs after time in the ice museum!
Look what we saw on the way home! Mom and her calf!
