And we’re off again!  Joined by the Todd’s, Roadtrip 2014 will commence on the 5th August.  

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.
