Time to Ourselves

Because of Parent Teacher Conference during the week days, teachers had Friday off. So I put a bug in Jed's ear to go to the temple in Spokane. A. Because thats our district. B. I had never been and wanted to mark number 19th temple on my list. and C. Because we needed time to ourselves.

We debated whether to go to visit family 3 1/2 hours south or be selfish and travel 3 hours north. We chose the later. And very glad that we did.

Welcome to Camas Prairie region!

The above shots are from the top of White Bird Hill. Its quite a trek up the hill to get to Grangeville but its a breeze going down to visit family. I'm scared to see what its like with snow. :(

Here we are in Coeur D' Alene Idaho by the Resort and Board walk. Jed and Ali used to live here while she was attending North Idaho College. Jed had some good times here and wanted to walk down memory lane with me. It was fun to see the apartment where they lived, the park where they would play volleyball and basketball, the great harvest bread company Jed would work at and make "the best looking loafs", and the world famous Hudson's Hamburgers. We also got some "Gooey" treats from the Resort's restaurant Dockside. 

After dessert we walked down the boardwalk and around the lake. It was a beautiful night. What a perfect way to end the day. Of course we did some shopping the next day. Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, Dicks, and Red Lobster! 

Here is an overview of Lewiston Idaho and Clarkston Washinton: our soon to be new home after the school year. I have never driven up and down so many steep hills. Not to mention all the twisty roads to and from any where.
