Location: Cary & Lisa's house, Post Falls, ID
We woke up to another gorgeous day in Glacier Park. Normally I'd be a little sad to leave such a beautiful spot, but I knew we were headed for my cousin Cary and his wife Lisa's house. I love my cuz, (don't get me started on the good times and shenanigans we used to get into as kids when we'd get together in Tahoe), and Lisa is really like a sister to me. So, it wasn't difficult at all to move on from paradise.
We drove along highway 2 and then took some backroads through the mountains to reach the panhandle of Idaho. The rains started in again but for the first time in weeks and weeks we did not see rivers flooding or roads being washed out. How refreshing!
(Cue Randy Newman singing "Louisiana - they're gonna wash us away...)
Once we arrived at Cary & Lisa's there wasn't a moment of silence. After getting caught up over dinner at a Mexican Restaurant, we got the grand tour of Post Falls and Coeur D'Alene. It was a perfect summer evening and we took advantage of it by seeing the falls at Treaty Rock park, getting a crash course in the local history and even playing with their grand daughter Aaliyah at the park. Lisa also took us to downtown Coeur D'Alene and we walked along the lake, saw the elegant homes along the shore and viewed the downtown area. Ironically, in a few days Cary and Lisa are heading to our neck of the woods and will be spending 5 or 6 weeks in California. Of course, they are taking the direct route and will actually beat us home!
Looking forward to seeing them again soon, let the good times roll.
