We worked our way to Spokane by way of Colfax. I talked Jas into a side trip to the top of Steptoe Butte. It was a twisty and curvy road to the top, but the view was spectacular. We did have a bee that tried to stow away with us, but we quickly 86'd him.
In Spokane we had lunch on a deck overlooking the falls. We then
explored the park, and foolishly dropped $14 to ride the gondola. It was about 400 degrees inside the car and it was a slow ride to nowhere.
Back on the road after a few hours we made our way to the Lodge at Sandpoint, a wonderful place with cozy rooms, nice amenities and a well adorned lakefront. We drank one of our newly aquired wines and watched the sunset. (oh romance!!)
We dined on the patio and (bad idea) ordered a second bottle of wine.
Jason put his new and drunk wife to bed at 10 and then watched a bad episode of Greys Anatomy.
We're on the road early today because the sandpoint locals said our 300 mile journey could take up to 8 hours and we have a dinner date with a Seattle couple in Banff.
lessons: bee's aren't friendly
Two bottles of wine will end an evening early.
