Coeur d'Alene

Here are some pictures from our 35th anniversary vacation. It was the best week-end we've had in ages. It's the first time I remember returning from a vacation feeling rested. Here are some pictures: John on Lake Coeur d'Alene on morning.

Jan on our deck overlooking the lake.

Suspension bridge we walked over on our hike.

Peaceful hiking trail

Moose statue overlooking the lake on a cloudy morning.

Wild Horse Monument we encountered on the drive over.

We spent the long Memorial Day week-end at Coeur d'Alene Resort in Idaho - http://www.cdaresort.com/. We had a great room overlooking the lake and took full advantage of it.

We took a walk/hike every morning to get the day started and to counter balance the over-eating we did these few days.

We took a lake cruise Sunday afternoon - but took no pictures - we just have those in our minds as memories.

The remote controls drapes in the room were the best! We opened them in the morning to let the sun in and see the beautiful view of the lake without even getting out of bed.

Huckleberries must be the state fruit - we ate huckleberry pancakes with huckleberry syrup for breakfast. We drank huckleberry lemonade in the afternoon and had huckleberry sorbet on top of huckleberry pie for dessert. Of course, there were chocolate covered huckleberries to tide us over between meals.

Spring!

It really feels like the first day of spring today with warm temps - not quite 70, but really close. Yard work awaits, but couldn't pass up the chance to get out and enjoy the day with a walk and then relax on the deck - it is Sunday, after all. All the work will still be there tomorrow.

Our 35th anniversary is approaching, so we are thinking about what we want to do. We've just about got it narrowed it down, but not quite. On our 30th, we all went on a cruise. This anniversary won't be 'big', but we do want to get away for a little while. We'll post info as we get closer......
