So this past weekend our landlords Frank and Shelly invited us up to their lake house in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho! I know what a bunch of you east coast people are saying..."Idaho!?! Did you find some good potatoes? hahahahahahaha!" This is what I would say too if I were still on the east coast and someone told me they went to Idaho for the weekend. But seriously, it was so beautiful on the lake. I posted some pics of the lake below because if I tried to describe it, I wouldn't do it justice. Funny story: While we were there, Frank's brother John offered to give us a tour of the lake on the boat. We all went and were out there for over 2 hours. When we were less than a mile away from the house the boat ran out of gas! Since Kristy and I were at the front of the boat we had to paddle with the one oar we had to a neighbor's dock which fortunately was close by. It was a pretty amusing site watching Kristy and me paddle to the dock. The neighbors were able to fill our boat with gas but for some reason the boat still wouldn't start so one of the neighbors gave us a ride in his car back to Frank and Shelly's. Now that is some Idaho hospitality!
This weekend we are going to Missoula, Montana for a folk festival. Missoula is about three hours away from Spokane and I'm looking forward to the car ride down with all 6 of us in one car haha!
As promised in my last post, here are some pics of our house:

I wish I had taken more but I forgot to bring the camera when we were actually on the boat.
Ahhhh the pics are beautiful! And the one of the six of you looks like a professional photo! Miss you, so glad you're enjoying yourself and getting to see states that I never even dreamed of going to haha... now I have a reason to go to Idaho!
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks for posting the pictures. Now I can imagine where you are when you're at the house. Hopefully you were able to check mine out. I saw Jen today when she dropped her sister off at school. It just made me miss you guys more...
ReplyDeleteHey there! Believe it or not, I've been to Coeur d'Alene a couple of times, both times with LOTS of snow on the ground. It's definitely a beautiful place, though I never even caught a glimpse of the lake. Will be interested to see what you think of Missoula - does a "river really run through it?"
ReplyDeleteGreat that you are exploring many parts of the great Northwest - such a beautiful part of the world. Let us know when you want to add some California time to your agenda.
Hope work is interesting and gratifying.
Love you.
