Trip to Idaho/Washington

Our trip up north was awesome! Christmas was pretty relaxed. We had Christmas morning at home after I got home from work, then I slept most of the day. We left the 26th and arrived that afternoon in Spokane WA! We had the big Christmas dinner that night at Brian's parents' house in Hayden Lake, ID. They live on Avondale lake which freezes during winter. It was so cool to walk out on a frozen lake! We saw ice fishermen almost every morning, as well as some hockey games. We went on a little "cruise" on Lake Coeur d' Alene one night, we went snowboarding, drove around Spokane (which we may call home in the not to distant future), and just hung out. It was a great week and we were so glad we were able to see Brian's parents, 2 of his brothers and their kids. And we loved the snow!! It was great...until it rained and melted it all!! haha. Luckily that was the last 2 days we were there. We got home on Saturday and settled back into "regular life". Gidget was deffinately happy to see us...but we were probably were more excited to see her. So that is our vacation in a nut shell. Here are some pictures...

Thanks for sharing some of your pictures. It looks like fun as well as veeeery cold. Happy to hear you had a great trip. I'm sure you glad to be back in CA's sunny 70 degree weather.

Ahhhh, What's Christmas without a little snow and Ice. Sounds like you had a good time.
We are hoping that Spokane is in your not to distant future. Only because we selfishly want family closer. Hope you can deal with us. I know our Bridget would love playing with your Gidget.

Great pictures, Beth! and what a gorgeous area--it's just beautiful! I can see why Dave & Cheryl made the move. Everything looks crispy-cold..love the North Pole and all the decorations on Coeur d' Alene lake. Glad you're back at the beach, we'll see you in just a few weeks.
love you bunches... I'll wait to think about you someday moving north.... :/
