Idaho and Spokane... the New Jersey of the West?

The next morning, we get ready for a long drive to Seattle by having possibly the greatest breakfast burrito ever... at this gas station in Kalispell... I'm serious about this, if you're ever around the area, you should look for this burrito place... I forgot the name though...I'm sure I have a pic of it somewhere... ==>

<== Glacier National Park is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and it is extremely unfair that we have to drive through both the panhandle of Idaho and eastern Washington to get to our next destination. This is the best picture we have of Idaho... I would highly suggest avoiding the panhandle of Idaho like the plague...

Panhandle of Idaho... ==>

<== At least Thomas is enjoying his Milky Way Dark there...












When we get to Spokane the first thing we see is a car engulfed in flames... at a McDonald's... ==>

<== This was the best looking place that we saw in Spokane... it's a mural under a bridge... I would also like to highly suggest avoiding Spokane... At this point, I would also also like to apologize to anyone reading this who happens to be from Spokane.. or Idaho... or New Jersey.. >_<









Thomas is so saddened that he had to have his first ever rice krispy treat... I hope that cheers you up big guy... ==>

<== Eastern Washington.... don't let that amazing sky fool you, driving through this is like driving on a treadmill for 3 hours...

I think they took the Windows default wallpaper here or something though...==>

<== One of the few breaks in the scenery...

But a lot of the eastern part of the state is like this... ==>

<== There's way more of this though... there was even a dust storm at one point!!

This is what happens when you're in a car for 10 hours a day... ==>


We drove all day...

<== Eating dinner at McGlinn's Public House in Wenatchee Washington... delicious beer bread there, and the McGlinn's Amber is pretty delicious if you're ever there for some reason...

And at last, staying the night at the world's most luxurious Motel 6... this place was like a palace, I've had way crappier rooms in Vegas... A relatively uneventful day, but we're almost at Seattle!! ==>
