Back in Washington. Hooray!!!!

After taking Shannon and Izzy to the West Glacier Airport, we continued on our drive home. Highway 2 along Flathead Lake is so beautiful. Off and on views of the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi and cute communities nestled in pine trees. Then through rolling hills of wheat. The last 30 miles from Plains, MT to St Regis MT (just at the Idaho border) was a state scenic byway and followed a river through the mountains. Just spectacular. And the little town of St Regis is very cute and has a nice RV park.

Next day we headed for Spokane which meant three states in one morning; Montana, Idaho (panhandle) and Washington. We had planned to stop and sight see in Spokane and ride their bike path but an ugly dust storm blew through so we just kept going. Arrived at Lincoln Rock State Park, just outside of Wenatchee for our first night back home in good old Washington. Yea! of course it rained the first day but what else would you expect.

We plan to spend a couple days in the area and visit with our friends Kirsten and Cline in Leavenworth before heading to Brier on Thursday. So excited to see family and friends. By the time we are back home we will have been gone exactly a year since we pulled away in the coach. Fortunately we had trips home to celebrate new babies and 50th wedding anniversaries. It is true, home is where the heart is.
