Coeur D'Alene Vacation

A couple of weeks ago we went on a quick trip up to Coeur D'Alene to celebrate Jake being done with his 1st year of medical school. It was such a fun and well needed trip. We found a house to rent for soooooo cheap. Just $75/night for a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath house with a big living and dining room area. Besides being not quite up to my cleanliness standards and having to kill about 6 spiders, it was perfect.

We drove up Friday, ate some lunch, and checked into the rental home. Then we found a park that was right on the lake. Hannah LOVED that park. We ordered a pizza and watched some movies. On Saturday morning we got ready for a big day at Silverwood Theme Park. The weather was just perfect! Almost too hot in fact. We chose a great day to go. There weren't too many rides that Hannah wanted to go on but she enjoyed an airplane ride and a boat ride. We had a yummy BBQ lunch and Jake watched the kiddies while I went on some fun rides that he was definitely not interested in. I can't understand why he doesn't love roller-coasters. We left the park at about 6pm, got cleaned up, and headed to this cute Italian restaurant our friends told us about called Tomato Street. It was really busy but very tasty.

On Sunday we just hung around the house and took Hannah to the park a couple of times. We took a picnic and left just before it started to rain. We went on a little drive to see more of the lake and saw some gorgeous homes. Coeur D'Alene is such a pretty gorgeous place. I am so glad we finally took the time to drive just 80 miles north to enjoy more of what Idaho has to offer. It really is a beautiful state.

Hannah loved it. And it looks like daddy did too.
If you zoom in you can see how much fun Hannah was having. She has a huge grin on her face.

Once it got going she wasn't a big fan of it.
They wouldn't let us ride in the plane with her. But she looked like such a big girl on it by herself. She had this very serene look on her face the whole time.

Hannah chose that cute little bench for them to sit on.

She loves wearing that hat.
