Well, we made it 560 miles to Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. Despite a slow start and getting out a little late, we got here around dinner time, and had a fairly uneventful day. Michelle and I need to do some better food and snack planning, which she's doing right now, just to help the day flow a bit better.
This is really just a place to overnight on the way to Seattle. We are leaving in the morning sometime to head there, and have probably 5-6 hours again, but we'll be there for a couple of days.
Now, the bad news...it seems Faith caught a stomach flu bug that's been going around, and thank God it didn't show up until we were back in the camper and she was in bed. She's sleeping now, but had a bad headache and threw up once. We're hoping it's the 24 hour kind, and are praying for healing overnight so we can travel easily tomorrow. We'd appreciate prayers that the rest of us stay healthy.
The girls will be posting their journals as blog entries, depending on on-road internet, and Faith's status.
Thanks for checking in, see you soon!

Today we visited Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho. And let me tell you, it was a loooooong drive. (Even longer than my mini dachshunds back!) Just joking! Actually, heading to Coeur d’ Alene from home (Belgrade, Montana) is traveling 560 miles in about 6 hours. But, don’t forget, we made about 4 pitstops. Anyway, we passed by some beautiful scenery! Hills, mountains, rivers and my favorite, Lake Coeur d’ Alene. It’s a beautiful lake that’s 30 miles long and only 1-3 miles wide. We got to stay right on the coast. We only stayed for one night but I have to give the road trip credit. We saw a collapsed mine with a statue by it of a miner. I found out that in 1972 a fire started and it filled with smoke and gases in the mine. All the miners tried to get out but only 82 survived. On my first day I learned a lot and I hope tomorrow will be the same.
