Family Road Trip 2009. Twelve days, five states, one minivan.
We start at 2pm on Monday 7/13, after a delay in the Market of Choice parking lot to pick up peanut butter, a sippy cup, and a hawaiian plate lunch for Joel.
First stop, Hood River. Windsurfers, Full Sail Brewery, and 403 stairs that we climb for the view and the exercise.
We spend our first night in unremarkable Kennewick, WA. After an equally unremarkable hotel breakfast we drive 3 hours to Coeur d'Alene, ID, where we spend a lovely day by Lake Coeur d'Alene.
And take pictures on one of the town's numerous moose statues.
Then, we're on to Missoula, MT. Great Mexican food in Missoula, it turns out.
Thirty hours into the trip. So far so good. We decided to take it easy and make our journey, rather than our destination, the goal. So we rest when we need to (ok, when Lucy needs to) and stop for ice cream a lot.
