VACATION!

MONDAY
8-25-2014

Got up early and made breakfast eggs for dogs; warmed up breakfast pizza for hubby.

Hubby called HR for his work and found out how much he will be getting when he retires.

We took the dogs for a walk in the park after getting a latte for hubby from Erin at the Espresso Stand.

We walked around the water tower and then thru the woods. Dogs were happy.

Got home and unloaded dogs. We got ready to go to Sandpoint today. Loaded bikes, bike water, and energy bars for hubby.

Drove to Sandpoint in Red Dodge & saw Dave R just pulling out of the Frontier building. We waved at him.

Then stopped at a stand to get corn dogs. Yum. And got diesel fuel at the gas station at the base of the hill.

Drove up to Schweitzer and took our bikes up the mountain. It was too severe to go down with all the dangerous switchbacks & rocks. So we walked our bikes down the road which was still very steep. It took us 2 hours to get down.

When we arrived at the base, we put our bikes in the truck and went to the ZipLine. It was fun. Alex & Will were very helpful. More walking up the hill with our equipment after the ZipLine ride. Then we stopped at Pucci's Pub and had Stella Artois on tap (yum) and nachos with pulled pork.

Stopped to talk to a couple guys outside the pub with their dogs, a husky named White Face and a skinny beagle named Buddy!

We walked next door to get salted caramel ice cream. Hubby drove down to Sandpoint to get Arby burgers for the dogs. Drove home.

I fed the dog burgers to the dogs, then fell asleep on the couch. It got very cold tonight. I turned on the heaters & took a hot bath. My legs hurt.
