So far our two stays have been quite different from what is shown in this video, but fun none-the-less.  Continue reading →

August 29th ~ Sandpoint, ID

Boat for our cruise on Lake Pend Oreille

~ We arranged an afternoon excursion on the lake through Lake Pend Oreille Cruises. Originally we wanted to take the 3:00 nature cruise, but not enough people signed up to meet the minimum numbers, so the 1:00 history cruise was a good substitute.  Continue reading →
