We made it to Nathan and Steph's on Sunday evening. We had a three hour layover in Vegas and rented a car after landing in Spokane. On the way down to Moscow we stopped briefly in Coeur d'alene
but it was raining and we didn't drive into it far enough to really appreciate it. But we were amazed by the black and green a golden colored rolling hills everywhere we looked. It was really like nothing I've ever seen. Their place is really nice. They made us a yummy Sunday dinner of chipotle chicken served on their beautifully restored dining room table.
and later that night we toured the law school.
Bruce said it reminds him of Harvard (which means it's old and yucky;) The next day Nathan had class
but that didn't stop us from touring with Steph. We walked all around campus and the arboretum.
We also saw where they meet for church and the bank where Steph works on the way to Pullman where we drove through Washington State University. Back in Moscow we met Nathan for lunch at a cute little sandwich place called Stax.
We then hit up the book store and got Steph a U of I Law School t-shirt. While Nathan was in his afternoon class we strolled through town and bought him some non dairy ice cream treats at the co-op hippy food store. We also hit up
Cowgirl Chocolates and sampled some of their yummy stuff. When Nathan got out of class we drove down to Lewiston and Clarkston
where we stocked them up at Wal-mart,
then drove by Lewis and Clark State University and came back on a crazy twisty road.
For dinner we went to a Peruvian restaurant.
It was really good (especially after I finally got dressing for my salad). We walked around the mall (hard to believe Moscow has one) and then we had to say goodbye. It was way too short of a visit :( but so much fun and worth the trip to see them!
We headed about 100 miles south to Grangeville where we stopped at a Super 8 Hotel. I'm thinking it was going to be super ghetto until we walked into our room. It even had a gas fire place!
On Tuesday we drove about 575 miles all the way down to Provo. The drive was gorgeous till we hit Boise (where we drove by their football stadium--aka the smurf turf) and then it was boring the rest of the way down. Hit quite a lot of traffic south of Salt Lake, but were very happy to check in to our hotel and get reunited with Tom and Laura.
