Weekend trip to Spokane, Washington

That's SPO-CAN, not SPO-CANE.  Took me a while to pronounce it right too.  Hubby and I drove to Spokane a few weeks ago to visit family and see more of Washington State and the great state of Idaho.  We spent the night with family in Spokane, then enjoyed walking to a local Farmer's Market Saturday morning. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

After visiting the farmer's market, we took off on our road trip Saturday afternoon and headed east to Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, our first stop. What a cute little town! The lake is beautiful and we enjoyed getting our feet wet in the warm, clear water. Next time we will bring our suits and stay a while.

 

 

  

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

After playing in the water for a couple hours, we headed north to Sand Point, Idaho.  Can we say lakes, lakes, and more lakes!  The scenery in Washington and Idaho states is breathtaking, this area boasting of acres of pine trees, rivers, mountains, and pure beauty! 

 

 


 

 

 

  

 

  

Our next stop was Priest River, Idaho...  

 

  

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





...Then west to Newport, Washington and finally back to Spokane.  We spent the night with family, attended church Sunday morning and ate lunch at Little Euro Cafe.  The food was delicious!  I would recommend everything on the menu but their crepes were especially superb!  We headed out Sunday afternoon and spent the afternoon in downtown Spokane, location of Expo 74, The Spokane World's Fair!    

So much to see and do in this city!

Spokane Falls Skyride - closed due to the heat.  Bummer!  My wonderful husband wanted to surprise me with a Sky Ride so of course I took a rain check. 

What a full, fun, fabulous weekend we had!   Thanks for coming along on our adventure!
