Day Two...the home stretch


We knew day two was going to be much easier than day one with only about 400 miles to go. We slept in until 7:30 am and after breakfast and a Starbucks run were on the road by 9:00 am. It was cold, but we had blue skies and no wind.

Once the sun went down the night before we did not get to see how pretty this part of Montana was. With all the new snow the drive through the mountains was beautiful. We had gotten a lot of snow in the mountains of Colorado, but it does not compare with the amount of snow they gave gotten in Northern Montana and Idaho.

We cut across the panhandle of Idaho and went through Coeur de Laine. The views of the lake here are breath taking. I think this might be an area we venture back into in the summer. We entered Washington through Spokane. It had been all over the news about the amount of snow Washington has been getting...but we were thinking they were talking by Washington standards. By any standards Washington has an assload of snow.

We arrived in Kent around 3:30 PM. It is weird to say...but it is nice to be home. I can't wait to get out and explore the area. But first things first...tomorrow Boyfriend promised he would take me to Ikea.
