Road Trip

Yesterday was a fun day for Jason, Lauren, and I.
Our plans started out as just a trip to return our ripped tent to Cabella's in Post Falls, Idaho, but, turned into a sightseeing adventure. We made a loop through Coeur D'Alene, Moscow, Pullman, Washtucna, Kahlotus, and back down 395 to Pasco. We covered 400 miles of beautiful mountains and rolling hills. I had only been to Coeur D'Alene before, so it was a great trip. I love traveling and seeing new places. Because Jason travels to all these places every month, it wasn't anything new to him, but it's the company that counts!
By the end, we were all ready to get out of the car. However, we made a few great stops along the way.

Our first stop was in Coeur D'Alene. We parked at North Idaho College, a place that is quite familiar to me from my basketball playing days at the College of Eastern Utah. Actually, the gym was the only building that looked familiar. The college is right by the lake, so we walked down to the beach. We watched a pontoon plane land right in front of us on the lake. We loved that!
Our next stop was in Moscow. We went to the University of Idaho and parked at the Kibbie Dome, so we could run around on the turf field. We had the field all to ourselves--not another person to be seen anywhere. Just the way it should be sometimes! Lauren loved it, as did we. We ran up and down and all over the field. I wish the day would have lasted forever with the three of us together. Now another week is before us, but I am so glad that there will be more times like this ahead.

A side note: Jason and I love going to different universities. Most universities have interesting buildings and beautiful landscapes. One of my favorites so far is the University of Oregon in Eugene. We happened to go through there during Spring when everything was in bloom and greening up. It was incredible. Knowing this, now you know why we went to NIC and U of I. Next time we'll have to go through WSU in Pullman.
