roadtrip to ID

After a night in Ellensburg to break up the trip we enjoyed some breakfast and coffee with one of my old co-workers Cathy. Terrace then crashed while we packed up and got on the road around 10. We met Jill at her work and enjoyed some time relaxing at her appartment and then headed over to her parents house. Brad was able to go out on a combine and harvest some wheat and then we had a wonderful dinner. It was home late that night and Brad was up early to ride his bike on a nice trail from Moscow to Pullman and back. Then, it was to the Breakfast Club for an amazing breakfast and off to Coeur d'Alene. We spent the majority of the time at the lake enjoying the sun. Terrace liked the water, seagulls, and other kids. We then walked around and had a great Italian lunch where Terrace loved her first "big girl cup" with a staw. Her hair was a mess and we had a great time playing with it. A small note to other parents....the swim diapers do not absorb well and accidents may happen!

Tues evening some of Jill's friends came over for dinner and Terrace had fun with two other kids. We relaxed the next morning, had a good bye lunch with Jill and had one last stop to see some bears run around near WSU which was really great to see. Our ride home started a little slow as we had a to take a long detour to get out of Pullman but with a few stops along the way to stretch, Terrace was quiet from Ellensburg home. The last miles of the trip were really tough as we just wanted to be home but looking back on the trip it was all worth it. We had a such a wonderful time with Jill and her family and friends. We also enjoyed a few days at home relaxing with Brad before he had to go back to work. I will post more great pictures soon as Jill took most of the pictures.
