Our Breakfast Stop

I’d love to tell you all about the exciting time we’re having on the road, but unfortunately, as expected, yesterday was a long day with lots of driving.  On a more positive note we did make it to Spokane in time to do a bit of shopping!  It was a hot journey though.  We stopped at the Running Horses viewpoint and the outside temperature was 98F – phew!  The highlight was the breakfast stop, as you can see from the photo, it wasn’t something we said aloud with a minor in the car

The shopping was a success for all.  Granpops bought Granny an iPad (with a pink case) and we bought a new tv for Fernie.  You can’t beat Best Buy, especially when the sales associate gives you an extra discount and doesn’t charge you the 8% sales tax!

Our bed for the night was a cheap and relatively cheerful Motel 6.  If I’m honest I was a little concerned when we first arrived and the reception was in the process of calling the police to evict a couple of drunken guests, but the night passed without incident but also without much sleep!  Pillows at Motel 6 are a rare commodity and they don’t have any spare ones, so unfortunately Jonathan rested his head on a combination of the bag of dirty laundry and a flat pillow.

We’re now on the last part of our journey to Fernie, crossing the state line between Washington and Idaho, heading up the I-95 to the border and then east on the 3.
