Got up and made eggs for dogs. Took the dogs down to the park to walk. Had to get lattes in town.

It was very windy & cold again so we took the dogs to walk in the campground that was stilled closed.

Then KRN came over. Hubby went down to work. KRN and I left the dogs at home with bones. We went shopping.

Got $ out of the Horizon ATM, then stopped to get Strawberry smoothie for me at Dutch Bros. They were running a special that if you gave them another punch card that you could get any drink for a 16oz price.

We stopped off at Beau Monde for KRN to drop off some clothes. They gave her credit and she found a nice dress & some other things to purchase.

Then we drove over to Spokane to drop off 4 boxes of home goods & clothes at Value Village. KRN found some more dresses & shorts. She tried them on while I waited. Then she purchased a few with 20% off gift card.

We were hungry, so went to eat at Red Robin. I paid for our dinner. We got a to-go burger for hubby.

Stopped at Walmart in Post Falls by Cabelas and got a few groceries. KRN drove us home.

We noticed that hubby had put up my new mailbox!!!

Hubby was already at home and had taken a shower. We gave him his burger. He was ravenous.

KRN stayed with us for the rest of the night. She went home late.

Got up and made breakfast for hubby. Gave eggs to dogs. I had also saved some for Bravo. KRN came over with Bravo. Then we walked the dogs in the park. KRN had brought lattes for us.

When we got home, we left the dogs with bones again.

We drove to Quinn Hot Springs in Paradise, Montana. It was a 2 hour and 20 minute drive. We got there a little after 12:00 for our reservation.

Once there, we were not impressed with the buildings or the check in system. Buildings were in need of repair and maintenance. We had to wait in line even though there were several employees just hanging around to pay $15 each. VERY expensive.

The changing rooms were filthy. Hair & dirt everywhere. Nobody ever came in to clean. It was disgusting.

There was nowhere to store our bag, shoes, and towels. So we just put them on one of the beach chairs that was placed by the pool. Not a very efficient way to keep anything.

The Pools were full of debris. Hair, Silica, Sand, Dirt, Grass, & Tree debris. It was gross. Again, no employees ever came out to check on the water or clean up anything.

Too many kids with rude parents that were not controlling them which did not make for a relaxing time at all. The kids were running and screaming. They had even brought bags of toys to "play with" in the soaking pools. Listen, this is supposed to be a relaxing time, not a public pool for play. Fucking asshole parents.

So after 1.5 hours we were not relaxed and the water did not feel like it had any relaxing mineral properties at all.

We could not fail to compare it to Ainsworth Hot Springs which was wonderful.

Then we went to the showers to get clean, but it was awful to change in the filthy changing rooms. KRN washed her hair. We put everything in the Jeep. Then went to the dining room for our reservation. Since we had gotten out early, they did not serve dinner until 3PM.

We ordered drinks and sat around for 45 minutes. Again, another table had some screaming kids. One of them even knocked a plate to the floor and broke it. The parents never apologized or offered to pay for the plate. Fucking asshole parents. 

At 4PM, we ordered dinner. Hubby had the Lobster Mac N Cheese. It only had 2 ounces of lobster which literally disappeared in the pasta. I complained but was told that is how it is prepared. What a rip off. I got the Tenderloin Medallions. Not a lot of beef for $35. KRN got the specialty Prime Rib. Again, not a lot of prime rib for $37.

When we were leaving, the Illinois plates car next to us had left their dog in the truck of the car and it was crying. The windows were rolled up on the vehicle and the dog literally could not breathe. I reported it to the front desk but I doubt that they did anything. Fucking asshole people.

Hubby drove us home. We were all tired and worn out. Not very relaxed. Hubby said that his knee was still bothering him when it did not bother him after our soak in Ainsworth Hot Springs. We need to go there again.

At home, I put everything away and started laundry. KRN decided to dry her hair. Hubby and I fell asleep on the couches. KRN left around 8PM when we were watching Singing In The Rain.

We woke up after KRN left and had leftovers. Then went to bed after watching The Good Wife and Battlecreek.
