Saturday June 14th and Sunday June 15th
Saturday
River Walk
This stop was mostly a chance to relax after being on the go for the first two weeks of the trip. We slept in and then made a late breakfast of french toast with some of the huckleberry topping we had bought in Glacier.
We decided to take the pups on a walk along the centennial trail that goes right along the river. Woody was desperate to swim, so we brought the dogs down to the water and Woody jumped right in. Emmie surprisingly walked in and stood in the water! This is a huge change from the first time we brought her to a lake and she stood as far as she possibly could from the water. I am hoping that we will turn her into a water dog! We walked about two miles and then went back to the campground to relax.
Ice Cream Time
After hanging around the RV for the afternoon. We decided to head into the city to go to The Scoop, an ice cream place that we had read about. I got a scoop of chocolate cupcake and a scoop of giants milk and cookies (vanilla with biscoff cookies) and Tyler got a raspberry ice cream with sprinkles and animal crackers. I love all ice cream, but I was not a huge fan of this. It was kind of icey and left a weird taste in our mouths.
We walked over to the River Front Park and I was blown away. Two giant rivers run through the center of the park and go down into a waterfall. We stayed there for a while and got to see the “No Kings” protest. It was beautiful to see so many people coming together to support each other and the pride outfits were great! We drove back to camp and made our go to lazy dinner of bread, cheese and sausage and watched a few movies.
Sunday
Coeur D’Alene
We had another lazy morning before heading to Coeur D’Alene, a lake town in Idaho about 30 minutes away. We walked through the shops and then along the water. We were jealous of all of the people enjoying a nice lake day and wished we had brought our swim suits.
After hanging by the water for a little bit, we walked and found a place to eat lunch. We decided on Crafted Taphouse. I am a sucker for a soft pretzel, so we started with a giant pretzel with a beer cheese and a sweet chili dip. It was delicious! We discovered that we were back in huckleberry territory and both got a huckleberry beer. I got a goat cheese, fresh berry salad that was amazing and Tyler got a burger on a homemade pretzel bun that was pretty good.
We skipped dessert there and walked down to the Bear Paw and got some big cookies, including a cookie for the dogs. We headed back home and spent the rest of the evening napping and relaxing.
