Road Trip: June and July 2011: Day 3

Today we started out in Fairmont Springs, Montana. After having breakfast...I know this picture is terrible, but you can kind of see out to the pool area in this shot... we headed out for Georgetown Lake. It was about an hour drive from here. We can't wait to see Marv, Cheri, and Jonathon! Courtney's cross-eyed hot chocolate shot of the day...

We noticed this mountain peak while driving...doesn't it look like where the "Grinch" lives?

Arriving at Georgetown Lake... the bugs on the windshield are getting a little out of control!

I can't believe I didn't get more pictures! Here Courtney is snuggled up to Uncle Marv. Aunt Cheri made her famous fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and corn on the cob. Plus apple and cherry pie. Is it any wonder we all gained a few pounds on this trip?! Gene and his wife Jeanie and Wendy and her husband were also there. It was fun to get to know them better. Gene sure looks like Grandpa Tommy did! (He is his younger brother.) It was fun to reminice with them about grandma and grandpa.

Courtney wrote a book while on our trip and was sharing part of it with Marv. He is such a great guy! He loves our girls!!! I just love how they are sitting in this picture. She climbed into the little spot behind his legs and snuggled right up... so cute!

We didn't leave until 5 pm!!!!! It was so hard to go... and we had a 4 1/2 hour drive ahead of us to reach Sandpoint, Idaho! It was worth it...getting to spend time with them on this trip! The ride between Georgetown Lake, Montana and Sandpoint, Idaho was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I should have taken more pictures...but the lighting wasn't great.

This is coming across the lake into Sandpoint... gorgeous!

This too...

After checking in, we headed over to Burger King to grab a quick bite and then let the girls go swimming. Long day...but perfect day! Only regret? That we didn't stop at the redneck theme park we saw about 30 minutes outside of Sandpoint and let Dan and Kenna go on the roller coaster. If we had realized that we were in a new time zone....that it was an hour earlier than we had thought....we totally would have. Here's to ALWAYS being spontaneous!
